Import Tips
• Document sustainable sourcing as muskie populations are managed; provide quota approvals if applicable
• Ensure blast-freezing records to meet 'frozen' definition and avoid reclassification as chilled
• Label as 'pike fillets' with country of origin to comply with COOL (Country of Origin Labeling) for retail
