Import Tips & Compliance

Label shipments clearly as 'for mincing/processing' with species and family confirmation to match HTS criteria

Avoid retail packaging; bulk blocks only, as consumer packs may classify under other 0304 subheadings

Test for histamine levels per FDA guidelines for scombroid species risks, even in flatfish
