Import Tips
• Provide chain of custody docs tracing from vessel to processor to prove gadiform species and mincing status
• Avoid common pitfall of undeclared glazing weight inflating container totals; declare net fish meat
• Register with NOAA for gadiform import reporting if applicable under fishery regulations
