Import Tips

Comply with Section 609 of Public Law 101-162 requiring certification that shrimp are not harvested by slave labor; provide verifiable documentation from suppliers

Maintain cold chain integrity with temperature logs below 4°C to preserve 'chilled' status and avoid reclassification to frozen under 0306.17

Include species identification (Pandalus spp.) and catch certificates to prevent customs holds on misidentified crustaceans
