Import Tips
• Obtain species-specific certificates of origin and verify sauger identification via scientific naming to avoid misclassification as other freshwater fish
• Ensure FDA prior notice filing and comply with seafood HACCP regulations; test for antibiotics common in aquaculture
• Provide documentation proving fillets are skin-off and unprocessed beyond freezing to prevent reclassification as fish meat
