Import Tips
• Label with exact species and processing level (e.g
• dressed) to prevent reclassification as offal or fillets
• Comply with USDC NOAA seafood import monitoring for traceability from catch to import
• Ensure packaging prevents thawing; common pitfall is insufficient ice documentation leading to duties on spoiled goods
