Import Tips
• Use taxonomic verification for horse mackerel to distinguish from other 'mackerel' under the heading
• Avoid mixed-species packs, as they may require classification under 'other' rather than specific mackerel
• Prepare for salinity testing if customs questions drying vs. brining extent
