Import Tips
• Verify fish species via scientific documentation to confirm Oreochromis spp. for HTS 0304.51.01 eligibility
• Maintain cold chain with temperature logs under 4°C to prove 'fresh or chilled' status and prevent reclassification
• Include health certificates free of antibiotics to comply with FDA seafood import regulations
