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
