Import Tips
• Verify fish is fresh or chilled (not frozen) with temperature logs below -18°C prohibited; use bills of lading specifying condition
• Obtain health certificates confirming free from contaminants; comply with FDA seafood HACCP and Lacey Act declarations
• Avoid misclassification as fillets (0304); common pitfall is insufficient species identification on labels
