No. US law requires a valid CCAMLR CDS certificate (or equivalent national catch document for non-CCAMLR fisheries) for all Dissostichus spp. imports. Shipments presented without complete documentation will be refused entry. Importers should obtain the CDS certificate from their supplier before the shipment departs and verify it covers the specific vessel, trip, and quantity being imported.
Fresh or chilled fillets must maintain a temperature above freezing throughout transit, typically requiring air freight rather than ocean container shipping. Given Chile's distance from US ports, the short shelf life of fresh product creates tight scheduling requirements. Any inadvertent freezing during transit can trigger reclassification to the frozen fillet subheading, potentially affecting duty treatment and requiring amended entry documentation.
