Import Tips
• Include commercial invoices specifying 'for mincing/ground use only' and block weights to qualify for processing subheading
• Source from approved fisheries with traceability docs to meet US FDA seafood HACCP and avoid holds
• Avoid retail labeling or packaging, as it triggers reclassification to higher-duty consumer fillet codes
