Import Tips

• Provide documentation proving blocks are over 4.5 kg and destined for mincing/processing to qualify under 0304.83.10.30; otherwise, may shift to general frozen fillets

• Ensure supplier certificates confirm turbot species (Scophthalmidae) and skinless condition to avoid reclassification as unskinned flatfish

• Comply with FDA seafood HACCP and import alerts for contaminants; common pitfall is inadequate proof of processing intent leading to higher duties
