Import Tips
• Verify species via scientific name (Gadus morhua) and obtain fishery certificates to comply with seafood import monitoring
• Ensure temperature logs below 4°C for 'chilled' status; exceeding this risks reclassification as fresh or spoiled
• Label with country of catch and processing to avoid FDA detention; common pitfall is missing Lot Traceability Number
