Import Tips
• Obtain country-specific farmed certification; Ecuadorian exports often require additional traceability docs
• Label packages clearly with count size and 'farmed' origin to match HTS statistical breakout
• Avoid common pitfall of head-on imports misdeclared as headless count; leads to reclassification
