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
