Import Tips

• Verify species identification with scientific names (e.g

• Sander vitreus for pike perch) via certificates to avoid misclassification

• Comply with FDA seafood HACCP and Section 609 if any incidental shrimp contamination; provide frozen storage documentation

• Avoid pitfalls like declaring as fillets, which shifts to 0304; whole frozen fish must remain intact
