Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly as 'for mincing/processing only' and avoid retail packaging to match tariff intent
• Comply with USDA/NOAA import permits for fish blocks and ensure cold chain integrity documentation
• Avoid common pitfalls like partial thawing which could lead to reclassification as fresh/chilled under 0304.41
