Import Tips
• Include moisture content analysis to confirm 'dried' status and distinguish from fresh/chilled
• Obtain phytosanitary certificates if from regions with pest risks, plus FDA registration for processors
• Watch for misdeclaration as 'salted' which could shift classification if brine is detected
