Import Tips

Verify blocks weigh over 4.5 kg net and are explicitly imported for mincing/processing to qualify under this subheading

Provide end-use documentation proving intent for further breakdown into uniform pieces to avoid reclassification

Ensure FDA prior notice and comply with seafood HACCP regulations; common pitfall is incorrect weight declaration
