Import Tips
• Include lab certification of brine salinity (>10% salt) to distinguish from fresh or minimally processed fish
• Label containers clearly with species and 'salted in brine' to prevent CBP reclassification
• Check for Section 609 compliance if any shrimp contamination risk in processing
