Import Tips
• Label products clearly as 'dried, salted, or in brine' excluding any smoke to match the heading exclusion
• Obtain Certificate of Origin to benefit from potential trade agreement duty reductions
• Watch for moisture content tests, as overly wet products might be deemed 'in brine' vs 'dried'
