Import Tips

Declare exact species and harvest origin; snow crab may require additional traceability under fishery regulations

Use temperature logs to prove continuous frozen state, avoiding reclassification if partial thawing occurs

Avoid bulk packaging that resembles pellets; ensure clusters are distinctly identifiable as whole sections
