Import Tips & Compliance

Verify species identification via scientific name to confirm HTS classification; misidentification can lead to reclassification

Provide certificates of origin and health/sanitary certificates; frozen fish requires cold chain documentation

Avoid common pitfall of declaring gutted fish as fillets—whole or dressed fish stays in 0303
