Import Tips

• Verify species identification with scientific name (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and obtain certificates of origin to confirm non-Atlantic/Pacific salmon classification

• Maintain cold chain documentation proving fish remained fresh/chilled (below 0°C) during transit to avoid reclassification as frozen under 0303

• Comply with FDA seafood HACCP regulations and provide health certificates; watch for common pitfalls like improper temperature logs leading to spoilage claims
