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
