Import Tips
• Obtain verifiable chain of custody documents tracing farm origin to prove farmed status and avoid wild-caught misclassification
• Conduct pre-shipment count testing with third-party labs to confirm 111-132/kg headless weight, as CBP may sample for accuracy
• Declare exact species (e.g
• Litopenaeus vannamei) on entry docs; misdeclaration risks penalties under statistical note requirements
