Import Tips

Provide certificates of analysis for batter composition to confirm no prohibited additives per FDA regs

Avoid common error of shipping in bulk consumer packs without retail-ready labeling, which may trigger reclassification

Check for country-specific restrictions on pollock sourcing, especially from certain fisheries under MSC standards
