Import Tips
• Verify fish is truly fresh/chilled (below 0°C core temp) with temperature logs to avoid reclassification as frozen under 0303; obtain health certificates from exporting country confirming Dicentrarchus spp. and disease-free status; declare exact species as misdeclaration of seabass can trigger penalties
