Import Tips
• Include lab analysis confirming 100% Alaska pollock mince to prevent disputes over species identification
• Declare exact container net weights; mismeasurement leads to reclassification to smaller container rates
• Ensure no binders added, as that could qualify as 'pellets' under chapter definition, shifting to heading 0309
