Import Tips
• Declare exact block net weights on entry docs; CBP audits for over 4.5kg threshold frequently
• FDA prior notice required 2-8 hours pre-arrival for all fish imports; include lot traceability
• Avoid misdeclaration as 'fillets' if boneless only—0304 requires meat separation from whole fish
