Import Tips
• Obtain FDA prior notice and entry with lot codes for traceability in bulk minced fish shipments
• Confirm container weights exceed 6.8 kg to qualify; smaller packs shift to retail subheadings
• Test for antibiotics and heavy metals per importing country standards, as gadiform fish are prone to residues
