Import Tips

• Declare exact species (e.g

• Merluccius australis) on entry docs; generic 'whiting' may trigger CBP verification

• Confirm skinless status via processing certificates; skin-on shifts classification significantly

• Budget for potential cold chain inspections; maintain -18°C or below to preserve block integrity
