Import Tips
• Use ISF filings early for bulk shipments to preempt delays from seafood traceability requirements
• Document block integrity and temperature logs to prove frozen status throughout transit
• Beware of misdeclaration as 'minced' if not uniformly processed, which stays in same code but affects valuation
