Import Tips
• Maintain cold chain documentation (temp logs below 4°C) to prove 'chilled' status vs. frozen
• Include aquaculture certification if farm-raised to meet US anti-dumping scrutiny on crawfish
• Avoid pitfall of bulk packing without individual trays, which may trigger 'not for retail' reclassification
