Import Tips
• Ensure EU catch certificates if from regulated fisheries to meet U.S. illegal fishing import bans
• Document oil type and percentage for accurate duty assessment; vegetable vs olive oil can affect valuation
• Inspect for vacuum sealing which might trigger reclassification to airtight subheadings during exam
