Import Tips
• Provide temperature verification from supplier to prove 'chilled' status (0-4°C) versus frozen (below -18°C)
• Ensure traceability chain from catch to port with blockchain or VMS data for high-risk species like toothfish
• Budget for potential NOAA inspections on sustainability certifications to avoid delays
