Import Tips
• Certify block weights via certified scale documentation at export to confirm >4.5 kg per block, avoiding reclassification to smaller pack formats
• Label shipments clearly as 'for industrial mincing/ground fish production' with end-user processing contract to support tariff qualification
• Conduct lab testing if needed to confirm pure Pollachius virens species, preventing disputes with Gadidae-specific headings
