Import Tips
• Provide bivalve import permits from APHIS and ensure HACCP plans for vibrio control during transport
• Label with country of origin and harvest date to avoid delays; common pitfall is insufficient temperature logs leading to rejection
• Check for anti-dumping duties on Australian shellfish and declare accurately to prevent penalties
