Import Tips

• Comply with HACCP plans and provide cooling records; FDA import alert 16-125 may apply for contaminants

• Include scientific name confirmation on invoices; pitfall is mislabeling skin-on as skinless leading to disputes

• Use insulated containers for transit; declare exact chill method to prevent duty reassessment
