Import Tips
• Obtain prior notice via FDA PARS for aquaculture-sourced shrimp to preempt holds; include country-of-origin labeling
• Document exact count via headless weight samples; discrepancies can lead to duty recalculation or penalties
• Use insulated shipping containers to ensure core temperature remains below -18°C, avoiding thawed reclassification
