Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly as 'for mincing/processing only' with weight certifications to prevent CBP reclassification
• Monitor EU/Atlantic turbot quotas; provide catch certificates for sustainability compliance
• Avoid common pitfall of mixed flatfish species—pure turbot required for this subheading
