Import Tips
• Verify species certification (Gadus morhua, ogac, or macrocephalus) via documentation to avoid misclassification
• Ensure compliance with FDA seafood HACCP and Section 609 if any shrimp bycatch is involved in fishing
• Maintain cold chain with temperature logs below 4°C to qualify as 'fresh or chilled' and prevent reclassification as frozen
