Import Tips
• Obtain CITES permits if applicable for certain squid species, though most are unregulated; include fishery certificates for sustainability claims
• Label packages with exact species and processing date to meet US Customs frozen seafood entry requirements
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'cuttlefish' which shifts to 0307.42, potentially altering duties
