Import Tips

Verify compliance with Section 609 of P.L. 101-162 requiring certification that shrimp are not harvested by slave labor; provide Programmed Verification Improvement (PVI) documentation

Include aquaculture certification and accurate count size labeling on invoices to match 111-132 per kg headless weight for statistical breakout

Ensure proper cold chain documentation to prevent reclassification as fresh/chilled under 0306.16 if thawing occurs during transit
