Import Tips
• Label packages clearly with 'dressed sauger' and net weight to meet U.S
• Customs marking requirements for frozen fish imports
• Obtain prior notice via FDA's Prior Notice system for all seafood shipments to prevent holds at ports of entry
• Watch for misdeclaration as 'walleye' (closely related species), which could trigger reclassification outside sauger-specific code
