Import Tips

• Use IQF-specific packaging to maintain individual separation, documenting glazing weight (ice glaze) separately on invoices—over 15% glaze risks duty recalculation

• Confirm farm traceability chain meets USFDA seafood HACCP

• Avoid pitfall of batch-mixing sizes causing average count misdeclaration
