Import Tips
• Provide detailed processing records showing only gutting occurred to prevent misclassification as headed or tailed fish
• Include health certificates confirming no chemical treatments or additives, as per FDA seafood import requirements
• Label clearly as 'gutted whole monkfish' to distinguish from fillets during customs inspection
