Import Tips

• Submit evidence of end-use (e.g

• buyer contracts for mincing) to customs for proper subheading verification

• Ensure blocks are solidly frozen and skinned completely to meet 'skinned' criteria and prevent duty adjustments

• Comply with USDA/NOAA fish import reporting; declare as 'other fish' with sauger species detail
