Import Tips
• Include commercial invoice detailing smoking temperature to distinguish from cooked preparations in Chapter 16
• Ensure EU or origin country health certificates; watch for misclassification if vacuum-packed as 'prepared'
• Label species precisely to avoid blending with 0305.49.20 (trout); test for histamine levels per FDA
