Import Tips
• Include lab tests confirming brine preservation without drying; pollock must not exceed moisture loss thresholds
• Label as 'salted pollock in brine' with net weight and species; check for endangered species restrictions
• Avoid common pitfall of over-salting mimicking smoked product, which requires 0305.41 classification
