Import Tips

• Use FDA prior notice and entry with lot-specific harvest details to facilitate smooth customs clearance for chilled seafood

• Label with country of origin, scientific name (Coregonus artedi), and 'fresh/chilled' to prevent disputes over condition

• Avoid common pitfall of exceeding 48-hour post-harvest chill time, which could trigger frozen reclassification
