Import Tips
• Submit processing manifests detailing exact steps (e.g
• descaling only) to prevent disputes over 'further processed' status
• Ensure cold chain compliance during transit to maintain brine integrity and avoid spoilage claims
• Be aware of statistical reporting requirements for cusk, which may require species-specific declarations
