Import Tips
• Include aquaculture certification if farm-raised to confirm section 609 compliance for bycatch avoidance
• Label clearly as 'peeled and deveined' with species name to avoid customs disputes on classification
• Test for moisture content; excessive glazing can trigger reclassification as a different product form
