Import Tips
• Include lot-specific temperature monitoring records to prove chilling compliance and prevent reclassification
• Declare exact species with binomial nomenclature; pair with FDA prior notice for seafood imports
• Avoid shipping in insulated boxes mistaken for frozen; inspect for ice glaze that could trigger weight disputes
