Import Tips & Compliance

Document packing medium analysis to prove broth/liquid is oil-free for correct not-in-oil classification

Register for quota tracking via CBP; aggregate entries cannot exceed 4.8% of prior NMFS-reported consumption

Avoid misdeclaration as 'in oil' which would trigger higher duties under different subheadings
