Import Tips
• Include fishing vessel logs or harvest reports to prove wild-caught status versus farmed alternatives
• Monitor moisture content; excessive glazing can lead to duties as 'block-frozen' under different stats
• Comply with USDC import permits for Great Lakes species to avoid antidumping issues
