Import Tips

• Label clearly as 'sauger portions' with lot traceability; importers often face scrutiny on portion size uniformity

• Secure CITES documentation if sourced from regulated waters, though sauger is generally not endangered

• Avoid vacuum-packing that mimics pellets; use standard glazing to stay within frozen fillets classification
