Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly as 'blocks for mincing' with exact weights; CBP often audits for compliance
• Obtain import permits if from restricted waters; avoid pitfall of generic 'fillets' description leading to higher duties
• Maintain cold chain integrity to prevent thawing, which could reclassify as fresh/chilled
