Import Tips
• Include species-specific DNA test results if challenged, as pickerel identification affects quota applicability
• Monitor for section 609 shrimp provisions if harvest area overlaps with shrimp fisheries
• Opt for vacuum-sealed blocks to minimize thaw risk and maintain tariff eligibility during inspection
