Import Tips
• Obtain FDA prior notice and ensure compliance with section 609 if from shrimp-adjacent waters, though not directly applicable to finfish
• Provide catch certificates and species verification to confirm ocean perch identity, avoiding reclassification to general fish codes
• Maintain cold chain documentation below 4°C to prove 'fresh or chilled' status and prevent duty shifts to frozen fish
