Import Tips
• Verify species identification with scientific name (Hippoglossus hippoglossus) via documentation to confirm halibut classification
• Ensure compliance with FDA seafood HACCP and proper labeling for frozen fish fillets; include country of origin and lot codes
• Obtain import permits if sourced from regulated fisheries; avoid misdeclaration as generic flatfish to prevent reclassification
