Import Tips
• Attach processing certificates confirming no mincing or binding agents to uphold fillet classification over pellets
• Monitor AD/CVD orders on certain frozen fish; cusk typically exempt but verify via CBP rulings
• Use refrigerated containers to maintain chain of cold, preventing spoilage claims at US ports
