Import Tips

Maintain cold chain documentation proving temperature below 4°C to qualify as 'fresh or chilled' and avoid reclassification as frozen under Chapter 03 heading 0303

Obtain health certificates from exporting country verifying no contaminants, complying with FDA seafood HACCP and chapter exclusions for offal

Avoid common pitfalls like improper labeling of species (must specify Gadus morhua); mislabeling leads to penalties or reclassification
