Import Tips

• Verify species identification as mullet via scientific name to avoid misclassification; provide certificates of origin

• Comply with FDA seafood HACCP and import alerts for contaminants; frozen state requires temperature documentation

• Avoid pitfalls like declaring as fillets (0304), which changes duty; ensure not presented as human-consumable pellets (0309)
