Import Tips
• Provide blast-freezing certificates and temperature logs to prove compliance with FDA cold chain rules for preserved seafood
• Declare exact fish content percentages to distinguish from pure crustacean/mollusc products under statistical notes
• Check for general note 10(c) applicability if any skipjack/tuna is involved from freely associated states
