Import Tips
• Label with exact processing (e.g
• 'heads removed') and salt content to match 'not otherwise processed' criteria
• Obtain certificates of origin and salinity analysis to prevent reclassification as fresh or smoked product
• Check for FDA prior notice requirements for salted fish imports to avoid detention
