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
