Import Tips
• Verify species identification via scientific name (Gadus chalcogrammus) with documentation to confirm pollock classification
• Ensure compliance with section 609 PL 101-162 if any shrimp contamination risk, though not directly applicable to pollock
• Provide salinity tests (>10% salt) to distinguish from fresh or frozen pollock and avoid misclassification
