Import Tips

Provide end-use statements or buyer contracts demonstrating the blocks will be minced or cut, as required for this processing-specific tariff line

Ensure species identification via scientific name (Anarhichas lupus) on invoices and comply with US Customs fish species declaration rules

Watch for weight discrepancies; blocks must individually exceed 4.5 kg net weight to avoid reclassification to smaller fillet categories
