Import Tips
• Verify species identification with scientific names (Oreochromis spp.) via documentation to confirm classification
• Ensure compliance with FDA seafood HACCP and import alerts for contaminants; provide certificates of analysis
• Avoid misclassification as fillets by confirming fish are not headless/gutted beyond whole form; common pitfall leads to audits
