Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify species identification as sockeye (Oncorhynchus nerka) via supplier documentation to match Chapter 3 nomenclature
• Ensure airtight containers meet FDA food safety standards; include commercial invoice detailing oil type and net weight
• Avoid misdeclaration as 'pink salmon' which falls under 1604.11.20.40, leading to incorrect duty application
