Import Tips
• Use 'sablefish' or 'Anoplopoma fimbria' explicitly on commercial invoice; trade names like 'black cod' alone may trigger scrutiny
• Obtain prior notice via FDA PARS system 2-8 hours pre-arrival for seafood safety compliance
• Verify container gross/net weights; over 6.8kg risks duty recalculation to bulk rates
