Import Tips
• Obtain supplier certifications confirming wild origin and exact count size; mismatches lead to reclassification or penalties
• File FDA Prior Notice at least 2 hours before arrival for aquaculture products, even wild, and maintain frozen temperature logs
• Declare under statistical note 1 with shell-on confirmation; pitfall is confusing with rock shrimp which have different headings
