Import Tips
• Verify species identification with scientific name (Reinhardtius hippoglossoides) via documentation to confirm HTS 0304.43.0025 classification
• Ensure temperature logs prove 'fresh or chilled' status (below 0°C but not frozen) to avoid reclassification to frozen fillets
• Comply with FDA seafood HACCP and Lacey Act declarations; common pitfall is mislabeling as generic flatfish
