Import Tips
• Include commercial invoice specifying 'frozen fillets of Oncorhynchus gorbuscha' and net weight; avoid generic 'salmon' to prevent customs queries
• Comply with USDC NOAA seafood import monitoring for IUU prevention; retain chain-of-custody docs for wild-caught Pacific salmon
• Watch moisture content to avoid reclassification as 'minced'; pitfall is exceeding 15% glaze ice without declaration
