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
