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
