Import Tips
• Verify species identification as pink (humpie) salmon via FDA documentation to match HTS 1604.11.20.20 exactly; misclassification to other salmon types incurs different duties
• Ensure airtight containers meet food safety standards with proper labeling for oil-packed fish; include lot codes and expiration dates to avoid CBP holds
• Obtain prior notice via FDA's PREDICTS system and check for Section 232 tariffs on seafood if applicable
