Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify fish is cobia (Rachycentron canadum) via species documentation; misidentification leads to reclassification
• Confirm immediate container weight ≤6.8kg with contents; provide lab tests for chilling temp compliance (below 4°C)
• Include FDA prior notice and shellfish safety certificates; avoid common pitfall of freezing which shifts to HTS 0303
