Import Tips

• Verify species identification with scientific name (Esox lucius) via documentation to confirm pike classification and avoid misclassification as other freshwater fish

• Obtain health certificates confirming fresh/chilled status (temperature logs below 4°C) and compliance with FDA seafood HACCP requirements

• Beware of common pitfalls like inadvertent freezing during transit, which shifts classification to 0304.61; maintain cold chain integrity
