Import Tips
• Verify wild-caught status with catch certificates to confirm 'not farmed' classification and avoid reclassification to farmed salmon rates
• Maintain cold chain documentation (below 0°C for fresh) to prove 'fresh or chilled' status; frozen shifts to 0304.61 subheading
• Comply with FDA seafood HACCP and Lacey Act declarations for species (Salmo salar) to prevent customs holds
