Import Tips
• Label with exact species and processing details (e.g
• skinless) to prevent disputes over fillet definition
• Comply with HACCP plans for chilled seafood to avoid FDA holds at port
• Monitor temperature logs during import to prove 'chilled' status, avoiding reclassification as fresh or frozen
