Import Tips

• Verify species identification with scientific name (Sebastes spp.) via documentation to confirm Atlantic origin and avoid misclassification

• Ensure compliance with FDA seafood HACCP regulations and provide certificates of origin for potential antidumping scrutiny on groundfish

• Label products accurately as 'frozen fillets' to prevent reclassification as blocks or steaks; common pitfall is insufficient ice glaze documentation
