Import Tips
• Maintain cold chain documentation proving temperature below 4°C but not frozen to justify fresh/chilled classification
• Include traceability docs for Section 609; avoid mislabeling as 'fresh' if held too long, risking downgrade
• Check for aquaculture certification; pitfall is importing without APHIS permits if from disease-prone regions
