Import Tips

• Verify salinity levels exceed 13% to qualify as 'salted in brine'; provide lab analysis certificates to Customs

• Ensure compliance with FDA seafood HACCP regulations and include country-of-origin labeling for traceability

• Avoid misclassification as fresh fish (0302); common pitfall is insufficient documentation of brining process
