Import Tips
• Verify fish is fresh or chilled (not frozen) and confirm species as Theragra chalcogramma via documentation to avoid reclassification
• Provide certificates of origin and scaling process details; containers must weigh ≤6.8kg gross including contents
• Comply with FDA seafood HACCP and Section 609 if any shrimp contamination risk; watch for misdeclaration as fillets
