Import Tips
• Use insulated packaging with temperature recorders to prove chilled status (0-4°C) against frozen reclassification
• Declare as 'pike loins, fresh/chilled' precisely; generic 'fish meat' invites scrutiny
• Avoid bulk packaging mimicking industrial use, which could trigger end-use verification
