Import Tips

• Provide temperature logs and certificates of analysis confirming fresh/chilled status (below 4°C) to avoid reclassification as frozen under 0304.63

• Comply with FDA HACCP and seafood import monitoring for traceability from Gadidae family sourcing

• Label accurately as 'fresh haddock fillets' to prevent disputes; minced meat requires separate verification
