Import Tips

• Provide lot traceability documentation from harvest to freezing to meet FDA seafood import requirements

• Test for histamine levels in flatfish fillets, as improper chilling can lead to scombroid poisoning risks

• Use NAICS code 311710 for statistical reporting; declare exact species to prevent flatfish family misclassification
