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
