Import Tips
• Provide FDA prior notice and fish species certification; Gadidae prone to sustainability scrutiny
• Avoid partial freezing during transit—use reefer containers to stay within fresh/chilled scope
• Document exact processing (filleting only, no mincing) to prevent shift to heading 0309 if pelletized
