Import Tips

Include lot traceability docs for species verification, as croaker can be confused with protected drum fish

Avoid mixing fillet sizes that mimic retail cuts to prevent Customs reclass to smaller pack codes

Test for heavy metals; croaker from Gulf sources often requires contaminant analysis
