Import Tips

• Include commercial invoice specifying 'Soleidae family' and freezing date to support HTS verification

• Comply with EU export certs if from Europe; watch for Section 232 tariffs on certain seafood origins

• Avoid skin-on fillets if declaring as skinless to prevent reclassification as other fish meat
