Import Tips
• Obtain CITES export permits from source countries like Canada or US as geoduck trade is regulated for sustainability
• Provide detailed scientific identification and harvest documentation to confirm classification as live geoduck
• Avoid misclassification as frozen product (0307.79) by maintaining live condition with proper chilled transport
