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
