Verify species identification with scientific name (Brosme brosme) via documentation to confirm cusk classification and comply with HTS 0304.89.50.60

Obtain FDA prior notice and ensure frozen fillets are below -18°C to meet prior-sanctioned inspection requirements for seafood imports

Avoid misclassification as minced meat by confirming fillets are intact pieces, not processed into pellets or flours under chapter notes
