Import Tips
• Provide detailed ingredient breakdown showing fish meat percentage to justify 1605.52.05 classification
• Ensure country-of-origin labeling for tuna and scallops; pitfall is mismatched declarations leading to delays
• Obtain prior FDA approval for ready-to-eat meals; test for histamine in fish components
