Import Tips

Verify species identification via scientific naming (Lophius spp.) and obtain certificates of origin to confirm compliance with U.S. seafood import laws

Maintain cold chain documentation showing temperature below 4°C to qualify as 'fresh or chilled' and avoid reclassification as frozen

Check for Section 609 compliance if sourced from regions with shrimp bycatch concerns, even for finfish like monkfish
