Import Tips

Verify compliance with Section 609 of P.L. 101-162 requiring certification that shrimp are not harvested by slave labor in certain countries

Provide accurate count size documentation (headless weight <33/kg) and species identification (Pandalus spp.) to match statistical breakout

Ensure proper cold chain maintenance during import to preserve 'frozen' status and avoid reclassification as fresh/chilled
