Import Tips
• Obtain aquaculture certification and traceability documents to substantiate farmed status during customs inspection
• Ensure proper chilling chain documentation to maintain 'fresh or chilled' classification without shifting to frozen
• Label clearly as 'farmed' to avoid confusion with wild species and potential antidumping scrutiny
