Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly as 'for mincing/processing only' with exact block weights to justify the specific subheading
• Comply with USDA/NOAA traceability requirements for pickerel origin and ensure IQF-freezing certification if applicable
• Avoid common pitfalls like insufficient refrigeration logs during transit, which can lead to spoilage claims and duty adjustments
