Import Tips
• Label packages clearly with processing details (e.g
• 'gutted only') to support classification during customs review
• Avoid common pitfall of over-salting that mimics drying; maintain moisture content above 50% for brine verification
• Check for anti-dumping duties on haddock from specific countries like Norway or Canada
