Import Tips
• Verify species identification via scientific name to confirm Salmonidae family classification and avoid misclassification as non-Salmonidae fish
• Provide certificates of origin and frozen chain-of-custody documentation to prove compliance with FDA seafood import requirements
• Avoid common pitfalls like importing gutted fish without scales, which may require additional processing declarations
