Import Tips
• 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
