Import Tips
• Label with exact species (Gadus ogac) and moisture certification to match the HTS criteria precisely
• Comply with US Customs salinity tests; excessive drying during storage could trigger reclassification
• Prepare for potential country-of-origin quotas on cod; include fishing vessel details if required
