Import Tips
• Declare exact species (e.g
• Reinhardtius hippoglossoides) on docs to match halibut statistical note and prevent flatfish generic
• Use insulated reefer containers to maintain -18°C or below, with temp logs for FDA import alerts
• Budget for potential antidumping duties on certain Pacific halibut origins; check ITA scopes
