Import Tips & Compliance

Include commercial invoice specifying 'skinless, boneless fillets' and net weight; declare country of catch for traceability

Test for contaminants like heavy metals per FDA guidelines; maintain -18°C or colder chain of custody

Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'whole fish' which shifts to 0303, inflating duties
