Import Tips

• Verify catch origin and obtain CITES Appendix II permits as toothfish are regulated for overfishing prevention

• Provide health certificates confirming freezing to -18°C or below to meet FDA seafood import standards

• Avoid misclassification as fillets by ensuring product remains whole or in large pieces, not portioned meat
