Import Tips

• Declare net weight accurately excluding glaze/ice to avoid overvaluation penalties common in frozen seafood imports

• Ensure country of catch documentation, as cusk is primarily North Atlantic, for potential trade agreement duty reductions

• Test for histamine levels pre-shipment, as frozen fish fillets are subject to FDA defect action levels
