Import Tips
• Maintain cold chain with temperature logs below 4°C to comply with FDA seafood HACCP requirements
• Include health certificates confirming no antibiotics or contaminants from origin country
• Label clearly as 'fresh chilled' to prevent reclassification as frozen; watch for moisture loss issues
