Import Tips
• Provide tube-specific cleaning process details in commercial invoices to distinguish from whole squid
• Test for histamine levels as required for frozen seafood; include lab results in entry docs
• Avoid common pitfall of tube weight declaration—net drained weight must match HTS statistical notes
