Import Tips
• 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
