Import Tips

• Submit FDA Prior Notice 2-8 hours before arrival with exact HTS and species details to expedite entry

• Use insulated containers with ice; document chain of custody to confirm not frozen and qualifies as chilled

• Watch for misdeclaration as 'generic catfish'; specify Ictalurus to avoid disputes with 0302.71 for other species
