Import Tips
• Provide traceability docs from harvest to freezing to satisfy FDA seafood HACCP and prevent holds on specialty fish imports
• Confirm no binders added during processing, as chapter defines pellets with binders separately from plain frozen fillets
• Use IQF (individually quick frozen) packaging to maintain fillet integrity and support premium pricing at customs valuation
