Import Tips
• Provide processing facility audits proving no mincing; blocks must remain 'other fish meat' not minced
• Monitor for section 609 shrimp rules if any co-processing; though for fish, focus on aquaculture certifications
• Declare block dimensions and yield loss estimates for accurate duty calculation on net fillet weight
