Import Tips
• Verify origin documentation to comply with Section 609 restrictions on shrimp and crab products from certain regions
• Include certificates of origin and health/safety inspections from FDA-approved facilities to prevent customs holds
• Label packages clearly with species name 'Chionoecetes opilio' to avoid misclassification as other crab types
