Import Tips
• Provide commercial invoices specifying block weights and processing declaration to customs for proper 0304.79.10.10 entry
• Ensure FDA prior notice and fish/seafood HACCP plans; label with country of catch (e.g
• Norway, Iceland)
• Avoid misdeclaration as Alaska pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) which has separate codes; use DNA testing if challenged
