Import Tips

• Verify compliance with Section 609 PL 101-162 requiring documentation proving wild-caught origin (not farmed) to avoid entry refusal

• Provide accurate count size certification based on headless weight; misreporting can lead to reclassification or penalties

• Include chain of custody docs tracing from harvest to ensure no illegal fishing; common pitfall is inadequate vessel/permit records
