Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly as 'for mincing/processing only' with weight certifications to match subheading criteria
• Conduct species verification via DNA testing if needed, as 'perch' specificity affects classification
• Avoid common pitfall of insufficient cooling chain docs, risking spoilage claims under FDA import alerts
