Import Tips
• Verify species identification (e.g
• Gadus morhua for Atlantic cod) with documentation to avoid misclassification
• Ensure breading composition is declared; excessive binders may trigger reclassification as a different preparation
• Comply with FDA seafood HACCP and labeling rules for frozen fish products to prevent holds at entry
