Import Tips
• Verify compliance with section 609 of Public Law 101-162; provide documentation certifying no use of prohibited harvesting methods
• Include certificates of origin and temperature logs to prove 'fresh or chilled' status, avoiding misclassification as frozen
• Ensure statistical note 1 reporting for shrimp products; common pitfall is incomplete harvest method declarations leading to delays
