Import Tips
• Verify salinity levels and absence of drying via lab testing to confirm HTS 0305.69.60.01 classification over 0305.41
• Include certificates of origin and FDA prior notice for seafood imports to avoid holds at customs
• Watch for misclassification as 'in brine' if excess liquid is present, potentially shifting to statistical suffixes
