Import Tips
• Submit end-use certificate from U.S. buyer confirming intent to mince or cut into uniform pieces to support classification
• Test for histamine levels and provide lab certificates, as pickerel is prone to scombrotoxin issues in frozen form
• Use refrigerated containers with temperature recorders; deviations can trigger FDA detention without proper justification
