Import Tips & Compliance

Provide Lacey Act declarations tracing from vessel to importer for sustainable sourcing proof

Use insulated boxes with gel packs; document internal temps to confirm 'chilled' not 'frozen' status

Separate from minced meat; loins must be identifiable chunks to fit 'other fish meat'
