Import Tips
• Verify species via scientific name or DNA testing to confirm Pacific/Atlantic/Danube salmon classification under 0304.41.00
• Ensure proper cold chain documentation (temperature logs) to prove 'fresh or chilled' status and avoid reclassification as frozen
• Obtain health certificates confirming no contaminants; watch for Section 609 restrictions if any shrimp contamination risk
