Import Tips
• Verify fish species origin via documentation to confirm Merlucciidae family for accurate HTS classification
• Maintain cold chain with temperature logs below 4°C to qualify as 'chilled' rather than frozen
• Include FDA prior notice and comply with seafood HACCP for safe import clearance
