Import Tips

• Verify compliance with Section 609 (16 U.S.C. 1537 note) requiring certification that shrimp are not harvested by slave labor; provide documentation from suppliers

• Include accurate count size labeling (89-110 per kg headless weight) and confirm wild/not farmed status via affidavits to match statistical note 1

• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring as head-on or farmed; use FDA prior notice and ensure cold chain integrity for frozen crustaceans
