Import Tips & Compliance

Cross-check invoice count with actual lab tests; discrepancies over 5% trigger reclassification risks

Include EU-equivalent residue monitoring reports if transshipping through Europe, aiding FDA clearance

Declare as 'farmed' explicitly; ambiguous origin leads to wild-caught default and different statistical suffix
