Import Tips
• Label packages clearly with HTS code, species, and 'skin-on fillets' to facilitate smooth CBP examination
• Secure import permits if from CCAMLR-regulated waters, ensuring IUU (illegal, unreported, unregulated) fishing compliance
• Monitor for histamine testing requirements, as high-value whitefish like toothfish are prone to scombrotoxin issues
