Import Tips
• Include lab analysis confirming no binders added, as agglomerated pellets with binders may require different classification under chapter notes
• Label with country of catch and processing to meet Lacey Act declarations for traceability in Gadidae species
• Avoid common pitfall of misdeclaring container weights; use verified scales and include photos/labels in entry docs
