Import Tips
• Label clearly as 'skin-on fillets' and provide weight declarations to distinguish from whole fish or steaks
• Obtain certificate of origin proving freshwater pickerel to prevent duty shifts to saltwater categories
• Watch for moisture content exceeding limits, which could reclassify as block-frozen or glazed under different subheadings
