Import Tips
• Verify country of origin compliance with Section 609 PL 101-162 if involving shrimp-related supply chains, though primarily for shrimp
• Provide FDA prior notice and shellfish inspection certificates to avoid holds at port
• Label with species scientific name (e.g
• Chionoecetes opilio) to prevent misclassification as higher-duty crab types
