Import Tips
• Use EU origin certificates to validate Homarus gammarus species, preventing confusion with spiny lobsters (Panulirus spp.)
• Maintain -18°C or colder throughout supply chain; temperature excursions void import eligibility
• Avoid retail packaging at import—bulk shipments prevent premature 'retail set' reclassification
