Import Tips

• Verify species identification with scientific documentation to confirm classification under 'other' squid and avoid misclassification as illex

• Ensure compliance with FDA seafood HACCP regulations and provide certificates of origin to bypass potential antidumping duties on certain squid origins

• Check for Section 609 restrictions if any shrimp contamination is suspected, though primarily for shrimp products
