Import Tips

Include lab analysis for coating type (e.g

wheat flour batter) in entry docs to distinguish from plain frozen fish

Avoid common pitfall of undeclared allergens in breading; FDA prior notice required for shrimp-free claims

Check for EU export certificates if from Spain/Argentina, as hake sourcing affects traceability
