Import Tips
• Label species accurately (e.g
• albacore Thunnus alalunga) and provide catch certificates to avoid misclassification
• Monitor calendar-year quota adherence; use HTS reporting tools for aggregate shipment tracking
• Avoid common pitfall of oil residue in 'water-packed' products, which could reclassify to oil subheading
