Import Tips
• Provide DNA testing or expert certification for species if origin is disputed to match freshwater perch criteria
• Watch for mercury testing requirements under FDA import alerts for predatory freshwater fish
• Declare net weight accurately; overages due to glaze/icing can lead to duty adjustments
