Import Tips
• Label with exact species (e.g
• Dasyatis spp.) and ensure no spines remain to qualify as 'fillets'
• Comply with Section 609 PL 101-162 if misidentified as shrimp product; proper fish ID prevents issues
• Use insulated packaging to maintain frozen state below -18°C during transit, avoiding reclassification
