Import Tips
• Verify species identification with scientific name (Sebastes spp.) via documentation to confirm ocean perch classification and avoid misclassification
• Ensure compliance with FDA seafood HACCP regulations and provide certificates of origin, as frozen fish fillets require prior notice via FDA's system
• Watch for common pitfalls like improper labeling of net weight or country of catch, which can lead to FDA holds or CBP penalties
