Import Tips & Compliance

Label shipments clearly as 'for mincing/processing only' with affidavits to support the processing intent required for this subheading

Conduct moisture and additive analysis to confirm no binders that could reclassify as pellets under chapter definitions

Avoid retail-ready packaging; bulk blocks only to prevent duties under consumer fillet codes
