Import Tips
• Verify CITES permits if applicable for certain flatfish stocks; obtain FDA prior notice for all seafood imports
• Maintain cold chain documentation proving temperature below 4°C to qualify as 'fresh or chilled'
• Avoid misclassification as fillets by ensuring no skinning or boning beyond whole fish prep; common pitfall is improper temperature logs
