Import Tips
• Verify species identification with scientific name (Lithodes aequispinus) via documentation to comply with HTS specificity and Section 609 shrimp/crustacean provisions
• Ensure cold chain integrity with temperature logs; improper freezing can lead to reclassification or rejection at customs
• Provide catch certificates to avoid antidumping duties on crab from certain origins like Russia
