Import Tips
• Provide lab analysis for mercury levels, as Greenland shark is high in urea and contaminants; FDA prior notice required
• Include fishing vessel logs and traceability docs to meet US seafood import traceability rules
• Avoid pitfalls by confirming no mincing, as minced meat would classify under 0304.89
