Import Tips
• Label with scientific name (Metacarcinus magister) to distinguish from king crab and support traceability
• Obtain prior notice via FDA system for seafood imports; test for biotoxins common in Dungeness
• Avoid declaring as 'cooked' if only frozen—cooking shifts classification and duty
