Import Tips
• Verify species as European anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) via documentation to match HTS description
• Include commercial invoice detailing packing medium (e.g
• olive oil) and net weight; ensure FDA prior notice for seafood
• Avoid misclassification as tuna products; common pitfall is incorrect species labeling leading to reclassification
