Import Tips
• Verify species identification with scientific name (Anarhichas lupus) via documentation to confirm classification as ocean catfish (wolf fish)
• Obtain FDA prior notice and ensure compliance with HACCP seafood regulations; test for contaminants common in North Atlantic catches
• Avoid misclassification as fresh/chilled (0304.41-0304.59); provide proof of frozen state at import to prevent duty disputes
