Import Tips
• Document peeling process to confirm no cooking occurred, preserving frozen crustacean classification
• Require supplier certificates of analysis for omega-3 content if destined for nutraceuticals
• Beware moisture content declarations—excess water can trigger 'glazed weight' deductions at customs
