Import Tips

• Provide cleaning process details in commercial invoice to distinguish tubes from fillets and avoid higher-duty misclassification

• Test for histamine levels per FDA guidelines, as thawed frozen squid is prone to scombrotoxin formation

• Use IQF (individually quick frozen) packaging to prevent clumping, which CBP may view as block form
