Import Tips
• Certify IQF process prevents clumping; CBP may inspect for block-freezing which could affect quality classification
• Comply with statistical note 1 by declaring exact Pandalus species and shell-on status on entry docs
• Watch for misdeclaration as larger sizes; random sampling at ports common for small-count verification
