Import Tips
• Pair with FDA registration and prior notice; bulk minced fish prone to bio-terrorism act filings
• Avoid immediate containers under 6.8 kg to prevent shift to higher-duty retail subheadings
• Test for heavy metals common in bottom-feeders like croaker to meet import contaminant limits
