Import Tips

Verify species identification (e.g

Gadus morhua for cod) with documentation to comply with FDA seafood labeling and HTS species-specific rules

Ensure coating is pre-applied but uncooked; provide lab analysis if needed to confirm no cooking or oil content, avoiding misclassification

Include country-of-origin certificates, as antidumping duties may apply to certain frozen fish products from specific origins
