Import Tips & Compliance
• Include detailed commercial invoices specifying fillet cut (skin-on/off) and ensure proper labeling for country of origin
• Watch for sustainability certifications like MSC, as buyers demand them; pitfall is rejecting shipments without histamine test results
• Confirm no binders added, as agglomerated products become pellets under Chapter 3 notes, changing classification
