Import Tips
• Test for moisture content (<20% typically) to confirm 'dried' status; include lab analysis in entry docs
• FDA prior notice required; ensure no contaminants like heavy metals common in dried shellfish
• Avoid classifying as 'salted' if no added salt; pure dried falls here, but brine addition shifts subheading
