Import Tips
• 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
