Import Tips
• Use commercial invoices specifying 'for mincing/portioning' and block weights to support classification
• Avoid common pitfall of partial thawing during transit, which could reclassify as damaged or fresh goods
• Obtain fish health certificates if from aquaculture sources to meet FDA import safety standards
