Import Tips
• Verify fish species identification via scientific name (Melanogrammus aeglefinus) on commercial invoice to confirm haddock classification
• Provide salinity test certificates showing brine preservation without drying to distinguish from HTS 0305.51
• Check for Section 609 compliance if any shrimp contamination risks, though unlikely for haddock
