Import Tips & Compliance

Verify species identification as sockeye (Oncorhynchus nerka) via supplier documentation to match Chapter 3 nomenclature

Ensure airtight containers meet FDA food safety standards; include commercial invoice detailing oil type and net weight

Avoid misdeclaration as 'pink salmon' which falls under 1604.11.20.40, leading to incorrect duty application
