Import Tips
• Obtain third-party verification of farm-raised status and exact count size via pre-shipment inspection to prevent reclassification
• Include brine content declaration if applicable, as excess may trigger moisture adjustment penalties
• Pitfall: Failing statistical note 1 reporting leads to CBP holds and fines
