Import Tips

Verify species origin via documentation like catch certificates to confirm Gadidae family (e.g

cod, haddock)

Ensure product remains fresh/chilled (not frozen) upon entry; temperature logs prevent reclassification

Label accurately as 'fillets' vs. steaks to avoid disputes; common pitfall is mincing which shifts to other subheadings
