• CHECKED BAG ONLY — over 100ml, and you do not want it opening in a cabin bag. Double zip-lock it
• Phu Quoc is the EU's first Asian PDO — only sauce fermented on the island in wooden barrels qualifies
• 40N (protein degrees) is the top grade: first-press 'nuoc mam nhi'
• Declare it at US/IN customs as sealed commercial food — it's admissible
