Import Tips
• Label as IQF to differentiate from block-frozen, preventing reclassification under block-specific suffixes
• Include harvest date and fishing vessel info for traceability, required under Seafood Import Monitoring Program (SIMP)
• Avoid mixed-species packs; pure Loligo lots prevent blending issues with other squid HTS codes
