Import Tips
• Verify species identification via scientific name (e.g
• Merluccius) with certificates to confirm Merlucciidae family exclusion of cod
• Ensure documentation proves drying process only, no smoking, to avoid reclassification under heading 0305.41-0305.49
• Comply with FDA seafood HACCP and labeling for dried fish to prevent common pitfalls like moisture content misrepresentation
