Import Tips
• Declare exact HTS with shark species to avoid default to 0304.99 'other' at potentially different rates
• Prepare for USDA/NOAA inspections on shark byproducts; ensure no fins or prohibited parts included
• Document sustainable fishing methods to preempt environmental NGO challenges at entry
