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
