Import Tips

Verify blocks weigh over 4.5 kg each and include documentation proving intent for mincing, grinding, or uniform cutting to qualify under this subheading

Obtain health certificates confirming the product is frozen fish fillets of Anarhichas lupus (ocean catfish/wolf fish) and complies with FDA seafood import requirements

Avoid misclassification by ensuring no retail packaging; bulk blocks only, as consumer-packed fillets shift to other HTS codes
