Import Tips

Verify species authenticity with DNA testing certificates to comply with CITES Appendix II for Dissostichus spp. and avoid misclassification

Obtain FDA prior notice and ensure HACCP plans for seafood safety, as fresh fillets require temperature logs below 40°F during transit

Check for country-specific bans (e.g

illegal fishing origins) and provide catch documentation to prevent customs holds
