Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify species as Cyprinus spp. via supplier certificates to avoid misclassification; provide DNA testing if challenged
• Ensure immediate containers (e.g
• trays) weigh ≤6.8kg gross; declare exact net weight and processing level on entry docs
• Comply with FDA seafood HACCP and temperature logs (below 4°C) to prevent holds; watch for common pitfalls like unscaled fish slipping in
