Import Tips

• Verify fish species identification with scientific name (Coregonus spp.) via FDA prior notice and ensure temperature logs below 4°C for chilled status

• Obtain Certificate of Origin proving freshwater harvest; misclassification as saltwater can lead to reclassification under 0304.41

• Comply with HACCP plans and avoid additives to maintain 'fresh/chilled' status; common pitfall is improper ice packing causing partial freezing
