Import Tips
• Verify block weight exceeds 4.5 kg per unit and include processing intent declaration to qualify under this subheading
• Provide FDA prior notice and ensure compliance with section 609 if any shrimp contamination risk, though not applicable to sauger
• Label with scientific name (Sander canadensis) and country of origin to avoid misclassification as other fish species
