Import Tips
• Obtain FDA prior notice and ensure compliance with seafood HACCP regulations for frozen fish imports
• Provide certificates of origin and species verification to confirm Clupea harengus or pallasii; misidentification leads to seizures
• Verify blocks are not processed into fillets, as that shifts to 0304; common pitfall in bulk shipments
