Import Tips
• 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
