Import Tips
• Verify species identification with scientific names on documentation to avoid misclassification into species-specific subheadings
• Ensure compliance with FDA seafood HACCP regulations and provide certificates of origin for potential antidumping duties on pollock
• Check for Section 232 or 301 tariffs if sourced from certain countries; common pitfall is inadequate temperature logs for frozen goods
