Import Tips
• Verify compliance with Section 609 of PL 101-162 requiring certification that shrimp are not harvested by slave labor; maintain chain-of-custody documentation
• Provide accurate count size documentation based on headless weight; samples may be required for CBP verification to avoid misclassification
• Ensure proper cold-chain maintenance during transit to preserve 'frozen' status and prevent reclassification as fresh/chilled
