Import Tips
• Obtain NOAA import permits if from regulated fisheries; include chain of custody for sustainability claims
• Ensure IQF (individually quick frozen) packaging prevents clumping, which can lead to weight disputes
• Document aquaculture vs wild-caught status to avoid misrouting to different trade programs
