Import Tips
• Provide lab analysis confirming salt content over 10% to distinguish from lightly brined fresh roe
• Label clearly as 'salted roe' to prevent misclassification as caviar-style products under different subheadings
• Ensure country-of-origin labeling, as pollock from Russia may face additional sanctions or quotas
