Import Tips
• Maintain cold chain documentation (below 4°C) to substantiate 'chilled' classification and prevent reclassification as frozen
• Prepare section 609 certification from suppliers; non-compliance results in denial of entry for shrimp products
• Label clearly as 'shell-on cold-water shrimp' and report under statistical note 1 to avoid customs penalties
