Import Tips
• Verify wild-caught status with fishery documentation to avoid farmed misclassification; ensure compliance with section 609 PL 101-162 via catch certificates
• Label count size accurately on invoices to match 111-132/kg headless weight
• Common pitfall: incorrect headless weight measurement leading to reclassification
