Import Tips
• Provide catch certificates and traceability docs to meet FDA seafood HACCP requirements and prevent import delays
• Label with country of origin and scientific name to comply with US customs and avoid penalties for undeclared species
• Inspect for minimum size requirements if destined for retail to dodge reclassification as offal under 0303.91
