Import Tips

• Require FDA prior notice and shellfish inspection reports for fresh/chilled products to prevent spoilage claims

• Label with country of origin and harvest date; avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'frozen' when chilled

• Check for CITES permits if species like Caribbean spiny lobster approach protected status thresholds
