Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify Engraulis spp. species documentation to confirm classification under 0305.63; misidentification risks reclassification
• Ensure airtight containers meet food safety standards (FDA prior notice, labeling); provide salinity proof for 'in brine' status
• Avoid pitfalls like exceeding 6.8kg net weight, which shifts to other subheadings; check for Section 609 compliance if shrimp-related
