Import Tips & Compliance

Source from certified sustainable fisheries (e.g

MSC-labeled) to ease customs review under Section 609 and avoid NGO challenges

Document headless weight basis for count size explicitly, as shell-on imports require conversion verification

Avoid bulk brine-glazed packs; excessive glaze (>5% weight) may trigger reclassification or moisture duty adjustments
