Import Tips
• Label with country of catch origin and processing to comply with US Customs fish origin rules and avoid penalties
• Test for antibiotics/parasites common in farmed gadids; provide lab certificates to clear FDA detention
• Distinguish from breaded fillets (HTS 1604) by ensuring no coating; photo documentation helps at entry
