Import Tips
• Obtain FDA prior notice and ensure compliance with HACCP seafood regulations for frozen fish
• Provide scientific name (Dicentrarchus labrax) and country of origin on commercial invoice to avoid misclassification
• Verify catch documentation to confirm wild-caught or farmed status, as mislabeling is a common pitfall
