Import Tips
• Label jars with exact net weight and brine content; FDA requires country-of-origin and species declaration for traceability
• Test for airtight seal integrity to prevent reclassification as non-airtight; common pitfall is moisture damage in transit
• Obtain Certificate of Analysis for salt levels to prove 'salted but not dried/smoked' status
