Import Tips
• Verify species with scientific name (Gadus morhua) via documentation to confirm Gadidae classification and avoid misclassification as generic fish fillets
• Comply with FDA seafood HACCP and import alerts for histamine control in frozen fillets; provide Certificate of Analysis for contaminants
• Ensure proper cold chain documentation (bill of lading temperature logs) to prevent rejections at entry due to thawing risks
