Import Tips
• Verify fish species belongs to Gadidae family (e.g
• whiting) via scientific documentation to confirm HTS classification
• Ensure immediate containers ≤6.8kg gross weight; provide weight certificates to avoid reclassification to bulk headings
• Maintain cold chain documentation (≤4°C) for 'chilled' status; FDA prior notice required for seafood imports
