Import Tips
• Use IQF-specific packaging to demonstrate individual freezing, reducing moisture loss claims and supporting frozen status under 0306
• Comply with statistical note 1 by declaring exact count size on entry summary; mismatches lead to statistical reclassification
• Test for histamine levels in cold-water shrimp to avoid FDA detentions, as improper chilling pre-freeze can elevate risks
