Import Tips

• Verify species identification with scientific name Paralithodes platypus via documentation to avoid misclassification as other king crab

• Comply with FDA seafood HACCP and Lacey Act declarations; obtain health certificates confirming frozen state and no contaminants

• Watch for statistical note on shrimp provisions (section 609) – though for crab, similar traceability may apply; avoid pitfalls in country-of-origin labeling
