Import Tips
• Label as 'gutted head-on' with lot traceability; FDA requires species ID to match HTS farmed rainbow trout
• Maintain 0-4°C chain of custody docs; warming risks bacteria and reclass to unfit or cooked categories
• Separate from wild stock in manifests to claim farmed subheading benefits
