Import Tips
• Verify compliance with Section 609 PL 101-162 requiring certification that shrimp are not harvested by slave labor; maintain supplier declarations
• Provide lab-tested count size documentation (headless weight 46-55/kg) to match statistical suffix .09 exactly
• Ensure cold chain integrity with temperature logs below -18°C to avoid reclassification as fresh/chilled
