Import Tips
• Use FAO species codes in invoices to confirm Pollachius virens, avoiding confusion with cod or hake
• Ensure no skin-on fillets if declaring as 'meat'; skinless affects value but not core classification
• Prepare for USDA/NOAA inspections on Gadidae for illegal fishing; maintain chain-of-custody records
