Import Tips
• Japanese market standards require ATPDE (Approved Treatment Program Detail Establishment) docs for pathogens
• Segment count per oz must be documented if graded; customs may inspect for quality misrepresentation
• Avoid bulk packaging over 10kg without secondary venting to prevent thaw/refreeze issues
