Import Tips
• Obtain CITES permits if from protected shark species to comply with wildlife import regulations
• Declare exact fish species origin on commercial invoice to prevent misclassification as liver oil
• Avoid common error of shipping in bulk without stability testing, which can lead to spoilage claims
