Import Tips
• Include harvest date and water source certification to prove freshwater origin; avoids disputes with marine whitefish
• Ensure no glazing or IQF treatment; common error is partial freezing during transit reclassifying to 0304.61
• Comply with USDC import permits if from certain lakes; label accurately to prevent antidumping scrutiny
