Import Tips
• Verify aquaculture certification and section 609 compliance documentation to avoid antidumping duties on farmed shrimp
• Provide accurate count size labeling based on headless weight; misclassification to larger sizes risks penalties
• Include commercial invoice specifying 'farmed' origin and shell-on status for CBP statistical reporting
