Import Tips
• Provide commercial invoice detailing 'solid white' pack style and water medium to prevent downgrade to generic 'other'
• Ensure pole-and-line caught certification if marketed as sustainable, as CBP may scrutinize dolphin-safe labels
• Monitor aggregate quotas if sourcing from freely associated states to claim duty-free entry
