Import Tips
• Verify airtight container integrity and oil packing to meet HTS 1604.11.20 criteria; provide lab analysis if species authenticity is questioned
• Include commercial invoice detailing salmon species, oil type, and net weight; comply with FDA seafood HACCP regulations
• Avoid misclassification as fresh/frozen salmon (Chapter 3); common pitfall is insufficient proof of preservation process
