Import Tips
• Verify species identification (e.g
• pink salmon) via documentation to confirm classification under 'other' salmon, avoiding misclassification as sockeye
• Ensure compliance with FDA seafood HACCP regulations and provide certificates of origin for potential duty preferences
• Label cans with accurate net weight, ingredients, and country of origin to prevent customs holds
