Import Tips
• Obtain species-specific DNA test certificates if requested, as chum salmon morphology can overlap with other Pacific types
• Declare exact HTS to 10 digits; aggregate 'other' avoids higher duties on king/chinook but requires precise Pacific species proof
• Avoid common pitfall of block-freezing with excessive water, risking downgrade to fish meat or blocks under different notes
