• Provide lot traceability documents linking to sustainable fishing sources, as perch from US waters may have specific MSC certifications

• Ensure IQF processing is documented to avoid misclassification as block-frozen, which could affect tariffs

• Monitor for mercury testing requirements under FDA import alerts for freshwater species
