Import Tips

• Verify species identification certificates to confirm 'other' status, avoiding reclassification to 0307.11.0040 for American oysters

• Maintain cold chain documentation (below 4°C) for fresh/chilled imports to pass FDA inspection; test for vibrio bacteria

• Include harvest location and aquaculture certification to comply with Lacey Act declarations and prevent common pitfalls like undeclared wild harvest
