Import Tips
• Include commercial invoice specifying 'skin-on fillets' and weight net of glaze/ice to accurately declare value and quantity
• Comply with US Customs frozen seafood entry requirements; provide catch certificates for traceability amid IUU fishing concerns
• Watch for reclassification if portions exceed fillet size limits—ensure processing records show only filleting, no further fabrication
