Import Tips
• Verify species identification via DNA testing or supplier certificates to confirm Gadus morhua, ogac, or macrocephalus
• Comply with FDA seafood HACCP and Lacey Act declarations; include statistical note on shrimp but note applicability to fish traceability
• Avoid misclassification as fillets by ensuring blocks contain attached fish meat, not separated fillets
