Import Tips
• Use insulated containers with ice packs to preserve 'fresh/chilled' status and avoid reclassification as frozen
• Include shellfish sanitation certificates from FDA-approved sources to meet US import health standards
• Label precisely as 'geoduck clam siphons' to prevent confusion with other clam parts under different codes
