Import Tips

• Label packages clearly with processing details (e.g

• 'headless only') and moisture analysis to support 0305.62.0010 classification

• Obtain FDA prior notice and ensure HACCP plans cover salinity and moisture controls during transit

• Avoid drying during storage/shipping as it could drop moisture below 50%, reclassifying to 0305.51
