Import Tips
• Submit aquaculture certification and feed records to meet FDA import safety standards for farmed fish
• Use insulated containers with gel packs; document chain-of-custody temps to prove 'chilled' status
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'gutted' without specifying whole form, which could trigger 0304 review
