Import Tips

• Provide FDA prior notice via ACE system at least 2 hours before arrival for chilled seafood to expedite entry

• Confirm species via DNA testing if disputed, as cusk must match Brosme brosme for this specific subheading

• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'hake' which uses different codes; specify 'cusk' explicitly on invoices
