Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide fishery certificates of origin verifying sustainable Gadidae pollock catch to meet U.S. import traceability rules
• Label clearly as 'fresh/chilled pollock' with temperature records; exceeding chill temps risks reclass to frozen
• Separate any edible offal into subheadings 0302.91+ to prevent entire lot downgrade
