Import Tips
• Submit drying process affidavits to prove no smoking occurred, as customs may test for smoke residues
• Ensure country-of-origin labeling matches sustainable fishing certifications if required by buyers
• Avoid pitfalls by declaring exact moisture content, as overly dry products risk pellet classification
