Import Tips
• Verify species identification with scientific name (Perca flavescens) via documentation to confirm freshwater perch classification
• Ensure compliance with FDA seafood HACCP regulations and provide certificates of origin to avoid misclassification
• Check for Section 232 or 301 tariffs if sourced from certain countries; common pitfall is incorrect mincing declaration
