Import Tips
• Confirm harvest documentation to distinguish from protected species under CITES or Magnuson-Stevens Act
• Use blast-frozen certification to prove compliance with FDA temperature controls for frozen seafood
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'sections' without specifying shell presence, risking reclassification
