Import Tips
• Verify species identification via scientific name (Gadus macrocephalus) and provide FDA prior notice for seafood imports
• Ensure product is truly fillets (boned, skinned meat) to avoid reclassification as whole fish under 0303
• Maintain cold chain documentation to prove frozen state upon entry, avoiding thawed misclassification
