Import Tips
• Document chain of custody showing blocks remain intact until U.S. mincing to validate processing subheading
• Check for skin remnants, as incomplete skinning leads to reclassification under unskinned codes
• Monitor statistical notes on shrimp provisions, ensuring no cross-contamination in shared facilities
