Import Tips

• Verify species identification via scientific name on invoices to comply with FDA seafood HACCP and avoid reclassification

• Ensure proper cold chain documentation showing temperature below -18°C to meet frozen import standards

• Label as 'edible fish offal' clearly; common pitfall is confusing with rendering by-products not for human consumption
