Import Tips
• Label packages clearly as 'chilled Norway lobster tails' with harvest date to support fresh classification claims
• Provide shell-on weight documentation; peeled meat risks reclassification if processed beyond simple separation
• Monitor temperature logs (0°C to -1°C) to distinguish from frozen goods prone to duty disputes
