Import Tips
• Provide refrigeration chain certificates to confirm chilled status and prevent duty adjustments for frozen goods
• Label with exact species name (Atlantic ocean perch) per US Customs rulings to match statistical suffix .65
• Watch for blending with other perch species, which may require reclassification under broader 0304.59
