Import Tips
• Document exact processing steps (e.g
• evisceration only) with photos or affidavits for customs verification
• Ensure brine solution details in entry docs to confirm 'in brine' status over dried or smoked
• Avoid common pitfall of over-salting leading to 'dried' perception; test moisture content
