Import Tips
• Include end-user affidavits or contracts specifying mincing intent to support 0304.83.10.30 classification and lower statistical reporting
• Weigh blocks precisely during customs inspection; discrepancies under 4.5 kg trigger reclassification to higher-duty categories
• Trace origin to avoid section 609 shrimp-related holds, though not shrimp; ensure CITES if applicable for certain flatfish stocks
