Import Tips

• Obtain NOAA fisheries certificates confirming sustainable catch of Clupea pallasii to meet U.S. import traceability rules

• Label clearly as 'chilled herring' with temperature records; mislabeling as fresh can trigger re-inspection

• Avoid common pitfall of exceeding 48-hour chill time post-harvest, which may reclassify as unfit for heading 0302
