Import Tips
• Obtain fishing vessel documentation and brine processing records to prove compliance with salting criteria
• Label products clearly as 'salted salmon in brine' to prevent reclassification as fresh; watch for moisture content pitfalls
• Check for additional country-specific restrictions like those on wild-caught vs. farmed salmon
