Import Tips

Verify block weight exceeds 4.5 kg per unit and include processing intent declaration to avoid reclassification as retail fillets

Provide FDA prior notice and comply with Section 609 shrimp provisions if any cross-contamination risks, plus HACCP documentation

Ensure supplier certificates confirm Soleidae species to prevent misclassification as other flatfish
