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
