Import Tips
• Verify fish species origin with documentation to comply with FDA seafood import requirements and avoid misclassification
• Ensure labeling includes breading ingredients and net weight; common pitfall is incorrect declaration of 'minced' vs. pieces
• Obtain prior notice via FDA's system for all prepared fish imports to prevent detention at ports
