Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify compliance with Section 609 of Public Law 101-162 requiring certification that shrimp are not harvested by slave labor; include FMIA inspection certificates
• Provide lab analysis or supplier affidavits confirming count size (56-66 headless/kg) and species as Pandalus spp. to match statistical note 1
• Avoid misdeclaration of size which could shift to adjacent count codes; store at -18°C or below to maintain 'frozen' status
