Import Tips

• Verify species identification with FDA documentation, as herring must match Chapter 3 nomenclature per subheading notes

• Include commercial invoice detailing pickling method (vinegar brine) and net weight to avoid misclassification as smoked

• Comply with FDA prior notice requirements for preserved fish; common pitfall is inadequate country-of-origin labeling
