Import Tips
• Include photos/labels confirming 'Pollachius virens fillets, frozen, not for bait' to differentiate from industrial uses
• Adhere to USDA/NOAA traceability for wild-caught gadids; chain-of-custody docs required
• Check for harbor maintenance fees on seafood; proper HTS prevents reclassification surcharges
