Import Tips
• Verify species identification with scientific names on documentation to avoid misclassification as a higher-duty fish
• Provide certificates of origin and health/sanitation certificates from FDA-approved facilities to meet US import standards
• Monitor temperature logs during transit to prove 'fresh or chilled' status and prevent reclassification as frozen
