Import Tips
• Document trimming process to confirm 'fillet-like' status vs whole fish for accurate breakouts
• Monitor salt levels for country-of-origin marking; excessive salt may trigger food safety holds
• Batch-test moisture upon arrival; small exceedances often lead to duty refunds or protests
