Import Tips
• Label clearly as 'chilled Loligo squid' with harvest date and origin; avoid freezing to prevent reclassification
• Obtain FDA prior notice and ensure antibiotic-free certification common in Asian sourcing
• Watch for common pitfall of exceeding 48-hour post-harvest chill time, risking 'not fresh' status
