Import Tips
• Provide aquaculture farm certification and Section 609 compliance docs proving no wild-harvested bycatch
• Include detailed packing lists specifying net weight, IQF status, and peeled/deveined processing
• Avoid misdeclaration as wild-caught; farmed origin must match import permits to prevent seizures
