Import Tips
• Verify species identification with scientific name (Mycteroperca bonaci) via documentation to confirm grouper classification and avoid misclassification
• Maintain cold chain with temperature logs below 4°C; provide health certificates confirming fresh/chilled status and free from contaminants
• Check for section 609 compliance if any shrimp bycatch; declare exact weight and origin to prevent penalties on statistical reporting
