Import Tips
• Include end-user declarations specifying mincing/grinding use; U.S
• Customs may require bonds for processing proof
• Ensure blocks are not retail-packed; bulk industrial packaging avoids shift to consumer fillet codes
• Test for proper freezing (IQF blocks >4.5 kg); temperature logs prevent rejection as 'other frozen fish meat'
