Import Tips
• Maintain a cold chain (0-4°C) during transport and provide a certificate of origin if claiming preferential tariff treatment
• Ensure the product is not smoked; smoked products require classification under 0308.19.10
• Confirm the species is not Stichopus japonicus, as that species has its own subheading when live, fresh, or chilled
