Import Tips
• Provide detailed processing records showing head removal but no filleting to justify 0303 classification over 0304
• Ensure HACCP plans and temperature logs for frozen seafood to meet FDA import requirements
• Label clearly as 'pink salmon' with scientific name to match HTS description and avoid reclassification
