Import Tips
• Verify fish species via scientific name (Melanogrammus aeglefinus) and obtain FDA prior notice for fresh seafood imports
• Maintain cold chain documentation (below 4°C) to prove 'fresh/chilled' status and avoid reclassification to frozen fillets
• Comply with Section 609 if any shrimp contamination risk; label accurately to prevent duty disputes
