Import Tips
• Provide proof of hot-smoking temperature logs to distinguish from cold-smoked, ensuring correct HTS placement
• Include aquaculture certification for farmed salmon to meet traceability requirements under FDA import alerts
• Watch for moisture content; excessive brine may reclassify as 'in brine' under 0305.51
