Import Tips

• Verify container net weight including contents does not exceed 6.8 kg to qualify for this subheading; heavier packs fall under 0305.69.40

• Provide commercial invoice detailing species (e.g

• Scomber scombrus), brine composition, and country of catch; include FDA prior notice for seafood

• Check for section 609 restrictions if from certain countries, even though primarily for shrimp; avoid misclassification as smoked products in 0305.41
