Import Tips
• Verify fish is fresh or chilled (not frozen) with temperature logs and certificates of analysis to meet FDA seafood HACCP requirements
• Obtain health certificates from exporting country confirming no contaminants; include species identification via scientific name
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as fillets (0304), which changes duty; ensure whole fish presentation with head and viscera
