Import Tips & Compliance

Verify compliance with Section 609 of Public Law 101-162 requiring documentation of wild-caught or farm-raised origin to avoid antidumping duties on shrimp

Provide accurate count size certification (headless weight 133-154/kg) and species identification (Pandalus spp.) on commercial invoice to match statistical note 1

Ensure cold chain integrity with temperature logs below -18°C to prevent reclassification as fresh/chilled under 0306.11
