Import Tips
• Obtain FDA prior notice and fish/seafood HACCP plan; label with country of origin and harvest date
• Use insulated boxes with ice packs for transit; inspect for parasites upon arrival to meet APHIS standards
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'generic reef fish' – specify 'grouper' for accurate 0302.89.50.61 stats
