Import Tips

• Verify species certification as Pandalus spp. to comply with HTS 0306.16.00; misclassification to warm-water shrimp risks penalties

• Include Section 609 documentation for shrimp imports to avoid antidumping duties and ensure seafood safety compliance

• Declare exact processing state (e.g

• IQF, peeled) on entry; watch for moisture content exceeding limits triggering reclassification
