Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly with 'skipjack' species to match HTS description and prevent reclassification
• Monitor for Section 609 shrimp provisions if co-mingled with shrimp products, though not directly applicable to tuna
• Use IQF (individually quick frozen) packaging to maintain quality and comply with FDA temperature controls
