Import Tips
• Verify species identification with FDA documentation to confirm bonito and ensure compliance with seafood import regulations
• Include commercial invoice detailing packing medium (oil) and container type; common pitfall is mislabeling as tomato sauce-packed
• Adhere to country-of-origin labeling and Lacey Act declarations for traceability
