Import Tips
• Verify species identification with scientific names (e.g
• Merluccius bilinearis) via documentation to confirm hake classification
• Maintain cold chain with temperature logs below 4°C for fresh/chilled status; exceeding this risks reclassification to frozen (0304.61)
• Check Section 609 compliance if any shrimp contamination risk, though unlikely for hake
