Import Tips
• Obtain species-specific certificates (e.g
• Merluccius) as Merlucciidae proof; misidentification risks duty disputes
• Label containers clearly with net/gross weights; CBP inspects for 6.8kg limit compliance
• Comply with seafood HACCP plans and Lacey Act declarations for traceability from catch to import
