Import Tips
• Provide detailed processing records showing no cooking to stay in 0306; cooked product requires 0306.17 classification
• Comply with NOAA fisheries import permits if from regulated fisheries; label country of catch and processing
• Test for contaminants like heavy metals; common pitfall is inadequate cold chain documentation leading to rejection
