Import Tips

• Include skin-on specification in commercial invoices and provide lab analysis if contested, as skin presence doesn't change fillet classification

• Comply with USDA/APHIS import requirements if from certain regions, and file entry summary with detailed harvest dates

• Avoid pitfalls by ensuring blocks are not minced; mincing could shift to other subheadings or require reclassification
