Import Tips
• Verify farm origin certification to confirm 'farmed' status and comply with Section 609 provisions if applicable to molluscs
• Provide health certificates from exporting country proving molluscs are free from contaminants and fit for human consumption
• Avoid misclassification as wild-caught; check harvest documentation to prevent duty reassessment
