Import Tips
• Verify species identification with scientific names (Oreochromis spp.) via supplier certificates to confirm HTS classification
• Ensure compliance with FDA seafood HACCP regulations and provide frozen storage documentation during customs clearance
• Avoid misclassification as fresh/chilled (0304.41-0304.59) by providing clear proof of freezing process and temperature logs
