Import Tips
• 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
