Import Tips
• Label packages clearly with 'salted in brine, not dried' to prevent confusion with dried products under 0305.41
• Obtain veterinary health certificates confirming no smoking or cooking, as required for Chapter 03 preserved fish
• Watch for over-salting that mimics drying, which could shift classification to 0305.41.0000
