• Verify species identification via scientific naming (Ictalurus spp.) with certificates of origin and lab testing to avoid misclassification
• Maintain cold chain documentation for fresh/chilled status; temperature logs prevent reclassification as frozen under 0304.61
• Comply with FDA seafood HACCP and Lacey Act declarations for traceability
