Import Tips & Compliance
• Document kippering process (smoke-cured) to distinguish from plain tomato-packed herring under CBP review
• Use immediate container declarations on entry forms; repackaging post-import voids this classification
• Check for antidumping duties on specific origin herrings and include mill test reports for metal containers
