Import Tips
• Verify species identification via scientific naming (Clupea harengus) with certificates to prevent reclassification
• Maintain cold chain documentation proving product remains fresh/chilled (below 0°C but not frozen) to avoid duties under heading 0303
• Comply with FDA seafood HACCP and fish import inspection requirements; common pitfall is inadequate temperature logs
