Import Tips
• Include commercial invoice specifying 'skinless, boneless fillets' and net weight; declare country of catch for traceability
• Test for contaminants like heavy metals per FDA guidelines; maintain -18°C or colder chain of custody
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'whole fish' which shifts to 0303, inflating duties
