Import Tips
• Obtain Certificate of Origin and species verification to qualify for any preferential duties; label packs with 'pickled herring fillets' clearly
• Comply with FDA seafood HACCP and ensure pH levels documented for pickling process to pass border inspections
• Avoid pitfalls by not declaring as 'in airtight containers' if bulk packed, which shifts to other subheadings
