Import Tips

• Obtain FDA prior notice and ensure compliance with HACCP seafood safety standards for fresh fish imports

• Provide certificates of origin and inspection reports verifying the fish is fresh/chilled pickerel, not processed into fillets

• Avoid misclassification by confirming no filleting or meat separation, as that shifts to 0304; watch for temperature logs to prove 'chilled' status
