Import Tips
• Confirm Pandalus platyceros species via DNA testing if requested, as Alaskan/British Columbia sourcing affects duties
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'shrimp cocktail meat' which implies cooking and reclassification
• Comply with HACCP plans for frozen seafood to pass FDA import alerts on histamine levels
