Import Tips
• Ensure the smoking process does not fully cook the oysters, as fully cooked smoked products may be classified elsewhere
• Provide a certificate of origin if claiming preferential tariff treatment under a free trade agreement
• Declare the product as 'smoked' on customs documentation to avoid misclassification
