Import Tips
• Verify species identification via scientific name (Solea spp.) with documentation to avoid misclassification as other flatfish
• Obtain health certificates confirming the fish is frozen whole or in large pieces, not processed into fillets of 0304
• Monitor for antidumping duties on certain sole imports and ensure proper cold chain to prevent spoilage claims
