Import Tips

• Provide affidavits or contracts proving import intent for mincing, grinding, or uniform cutting to qualify under this subheading

• Verify fish species belongs to specified families (e.g

• Merlucciidae) via scientific documentation; misidentification leads to reclassification

• Blocks must net over 4.5 kg each—include weight certificates; skinned status requires clear processing records
