Import Tips
• Document smoking process to differentiate from fresh; CBP often examines for under-valuation as raw product
• Comply with USDA/FSIS if labeled ready-to-eat, though primarily FDA seafood jurisdiction
• Avoid retail packaging that mimics Chapter 3 frozen goods to prevent misclassification
