Import Tips
• Provide farm-specific certifications from exporting country authorities confirming no wild admixture in farmed lots
• Use insulated containers with temperature logs showing consistent -18°C or below to maintain frozen status through customs
• Avoid common pitfall of weight declaration errors; specify headless count basis clearly to prevent remeasurement delays
