Import Tips
• Use ISPM-15 compliant pallets for blocks to prevent wood packaging issues; declare net drained weight accurately
• Prepare for potential FDA prior notice and fish import inspections specific to Gadidae species
• Document supply chain to affirm no illegal fishing, aligning with traceability requirements
