Import Tips

Label clearly as 'salted cod in brine' with exact moisture percentage to prevent CBP reclassification

Include fishing vessel logs and IUU (Illegal, Unreported, Unregulated) certificates for cod traceability

Watch for salt content misrepresentation; must be genuinely preserved, not just flavored
