Import Tips
• Obtain CITES permits if applicable for overfished snapper species and ensure chain of custody documentation for freshness
• Comply with FDA seafood HACCP regulations; provide lot traceability and temperature logs to prove chilled state upon entry
• Verify species identification via scientific name to avoid reclassification; common pitfall is confusing with groupers (0302.89 other)
