Import Tips

Provide continuous temperature monitoring records below 4°C for chilled products to meet FDA import requirements

Label with exact scientific name (Jasus spp.) to confirm classification and avoid reclassification to other crustaceans

Obtain health certificates confirming no contaminants, as rock lobsters are prone to heavy metal bioaccumulation
