Import Tips
• Include commercial invoice specifying exact count (33-45/kg headless), species (Pandalus borealis), and shell-on status to prevent misclassification
• Obtain FDA prior notice and ensure HACCP plans cover histamine risks in shrimp imports
• Avoid common pitfalls like incorrect weight basis (head-on vs headless) which triggers CBP reclassification
