Import Tips
• Provide fishing vessel logs or traceability docs to meet NOAA seafood import monitoring requirements for perch
• Classify based on 'fillet' definition (boneless, skin-off); partial bone removal risks reclassification as meat
• Avoid pitfall of bulk shipments mislabeled as fillets—ensure each piece meets anatomical fillet criteria
