Import Tips
• For tail-only products, confirm 'peeled' status includes no shell; photos/docs prevent disputes
• Track harvest zones for section 609, as Pacific cold-water sources have specific certification chains
• Ensure no additives (e.g
• brine solutions) that could reclassify as 'in brine' under different suffixes
