Import Tips
• Label containers clearly with net/gross weights and 'fresh chilled' status per FDA seafood HACCP requirements
• Obtain catch certificates tracing to Pacific waters for Trachurus symmetricus to support tariff classification
• Avoid skinning beyond scaling; excessive processing risks reclassification as 'other processed' under 0302.99
