Import Tips
• Use IQF-specific packaging to maintain integrity during shipping; declare net weight accurately excluding glaze
• Provide blast-freezing certificates to prove compliance with frozen state under HTS definition
• Watch for misdeclaration as shrimp; Norway lobster's distinct claw structure aids proper classification
