Import Tips

• Verify species identification as Urophycis spp. with documentation from certified fisheries to comply with HTS specificity

• Provide certificates confirming salting/brining process and absence of drying or smoking to avoid misclassification

• Check for Section 609 compliance if any shrimp contamination risks, though unlikely for hake; ensure proper cold chain during import
