Import Tips
• 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
