Import Tips
• Use live transport certifications and oxygenation records to confirm 'live' status upon entry
• Comply with aquaculture regs under statistical note 1; declare wild-caught vs farmed accurately
• Avoid temperature fluctuations that could deem them 'chilled' instead, altering documentation needs
