Import Tips
• Verify species identification with scientific names and certificates of origin to confirm flatfish classification under Pleuronectidae
• Ensure compliance with FDA seafood HACCP regulations and provide frozen storage documentation during customs clearance
• Avoid misclassification by confirming fillets are not minced; minced fish meat falls under 0304.89
