Import Tips & Compliance
• Label shipments clearly as 'for mincing/processing' and maintain chain-of-custody records from freezing to import to support classification
• Comply with HACCP plans and FDA prior notice for seafood; test for contaminants common in deep-sea wolf fish
• Do not trim or portion before freezing, as pre-cut pieces may qualify under different 'divided into pieces' provisions
