Import Tips
• Verify species certification (e.g
• Oncorhynchus mykiss) via FDA import documentation to confirm HTS 0304.82.5000 classification
• Ensure proper cold chain maintenance during transit; temperature logs prevent reclassification as spoiled goods
• Avoid mincing the fillets, as minced fish meat shifts to other subheadings and may trigger different duties
