Import Tips
• Verify compliance with Section 609 of Public Law 101-162 requiring documentation proving shrimp are farmed (not wild-caught from banned sources)
• Provide accurate count size certification from supplier matching 46-55 per kg headless weight to avoid reclassification
• Include aquaculture certification and cold chain logs to prevent spoilage claims at customs
