Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify compliance with Section 609 PL 101-162 requiring proof of legal wild-caught or farmed origin to avoid antidumping duties; provide aquaculture certification and statistical note 1 documentation
• Ensure accurate count size labeling (headless weight 89-110/kg) on commercial invoices to match HTS subheading
• Common pitfall: misdeclaring shell-on as peeled shifts to different statistical breakouts
