Import Tips
• Verify fish is Gadus morhua species via scientific documentation; misidentification leads to reclassification
• Maintain cold chain with temperature logs below 4°C to qualify as 'chilled' and avoid spoilage duties
• Obtain FDA prior notice and ensure no antibiotics exceed residue limits for Gadidae imports
