Import Tips
• Verify species via scientific name (Thunnus albacares) with DNA testing certificates to confirm classification
• Ensure containers weigh over 6.8 kg with contents; provide packing lists to avoid reclassification to retail packs
• Comply with FDA seafood HACCP and prior notice requirements; common pitfall is inadequate temperature logs
