Import Tips
• Include farm traceability documents for section 609 verification, especially from high-volume producers like India
• Test for antibiotic residues common in some aquaculture; positive results trigger FDA detention
• Specify 'black tiger' species on packing lists to avoid reclassification as generic 'other shrimp'
