Import Tips
• Provide species certification from origin to confirm herring, not similar fish like sardines
• Ensure airtight seals are intact upon inspection; leaks can lead to rejection or duty disputes
• Declare exact oil percentage; blends over certain thresholds may trigger additional food safety reviews
