Import Tips
• Verify supplier certifications for no illegal fishing under section 609; provide chain-of-custody documentation
• Label clearly as 'crabmeat' with species identification to avoid misclassification as whole crab
• Check for moisture content to prevent reclassification as crabmeat with excess water under statistical notes
