Import Tips & Compliance

Verify species identification via scientific name (e.g

Pollachius virens) with documentation to confirm non-Alaska pollock and Gadidae family

Include end-use affidavits proving import for mincing/processing to avoid reclassification; blocks must exceed 4.5 kg net weight

Comply with Section 609 if any shrimp contamination risk; test for antibiotics and heavy metals common in pollock
