Import Tips
• Use insulated live tanks with oxygenation systems; declare exact species as Crangon crangon to match HTS specificity
• Obtain FDA prior notice and ensure Section 609 certification; mortality rates over 10% may trigger reclassification
• Provide fishing vessel logs and area of capture to demonstrate cold-water origin and avoid blending with warm-water species
