Import Tips
• Comply with FDA prior notice requirements for aquaculture eels; label country of origin and harvest date clearly
• Avoid temperatures above 4°C to prevent spoilage; use ice slurry packing and monitor with data loggers
• Check for CITES permits if wild-caught, though most are farmed; declare accurately to avoid penalties
