Import Tips
• Include fishing vessel logs and statistical note 1 documentation confirming shell-on status and origin from approved cold-water fisheries
• Label packages clearly with species name (Pandalus spp.), count size, and net weight to facilitate CBP inspection
• Avoid common pitfall of moisture loss during thawing tests; use IQF (individually quick frozen) to maintain integrity
