Import Tips
• Confirm 'airtight' status via pressure tests; leaks lead to reclass to non-airtight preserved fish
• Include catch certificates for sustainability claims to meet US import documentation standards
• Avoid common pitfall of under-declaring oil content, which risks penalty for undervaluation
