Import Tips
• Obtain country-of-origin certification tied to Section 609, especially for transshipped Alaskan-sourced shrimp
• Conduct pre-shipment count testing on headless weight to ensure <33/kg compliance and avoid duty disputes
• Label clearly as 'shell-on' to distinguish from peeled variants under different statistical breaks
