Import Tips
• Provide processing records showing fillet/block production date to confirm 'fresh/chilled' status
• Declare exact block dimensions and weights; overages from glazing are a frequent audit issue
• Ensure HACCP plans cover histamine controls for scombroid risk, even though cusk is low-risk
