Import Tips
• Label packages clearly as IQF to distinguish from block-frozen; FDA requires lot traceability for seafood safety
• Include fishing vessel documentation and harvest coordinates to prove Antarctic origin and sustainability
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'shrimp'—insist on scientific name Euphausia superba for correct HTS classification
