Import Tips & Compliance

Obtain country-specific farmed certification; Ecuadorian exports often require additional traceability docs

Label packages clearly with count size and 'farmed' origin to match HTS statistical breakout

Avoid common pitfall of head-on imports misdeclared as headless count; leads to reclassification
