Import Tips
• Label products clearly with species name and 'chilled' status to match HTS description and avoid reclassification
• Provide certificates of origin from aquaculture farms confirming freshwater origin and non-Oreochromis species
• Watch for common pitfalls like partial freezing during transit, which could shift to frozen HTS codes
