Import Tips

• Verify species identification with scientific name (Sander canadensis) via documentation to confirm sauger classification and avoid misclassification as other freshwater fish

• Ensure compliance with FDA seafood HACCP regulations and provide certificates of origin, as sauger is typically wild-caught from U.S. waters but may be re-exported

• Avoid common pitfalls like improper temperature logs during transit, which can lead to spoilage claims or rejections at customs
