Import Tips
• Ensure invoice specifies 'pickerel' scientifically (e.g
• Esox lucius) to match customs fish species database
• Prepare for potential CBP fish measurement; blocks must be verifiable over 4.5 kg drained weight
• Bundle with processing contracts as supporting docs to demonstrate non-retail, industrial end-use
