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
