Import Tips
• Ensure claws are not cooked or brined; use photos and lab tests to prove fresh/chilled status
• Declare as 'Norway lobster claws, fresh/chilled' with species code to match tariff description exactly
• Budget for potential inspections verifying no bacterial growth from improper chilling during transit
