Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly as 'for mincing/processing only' with buyer contracts to support classification
• Ensure cold chain integrity with temperature logs to maintain frozen status per FDA import requirements
• Avoid common pitfall of undeclared additives; pure fillets only, as binders could invoke pellet definitions
