Import Tips & Compliance

Verify species compliance with FDA seafood HACCP regulations and ensure country of origin labeling distinguishes between Pacific and Atlantic salmon

Obtain Certificates of Origin if from freely associated states to potentially qualify for duty-free entry under general note 10(c); exceedances incur standard rates

Avoid misclassification as 'fillets' (1604.11.20); inspect for whole pieces to prevent reclassification and penalties
