Import Tips

• Provide detailed commercial invoices specifying skin-on/skin-off status and fillet thickness to aid Customs valuation

• Comply with NOAA fishery regulations; include catch certificates to prevent illegal fishing penalties

• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'steaks'—fillets are defined by removal of backbone, not cross-cuts
