Import Tips
• Obtain fishery improvement project (FIP) certifications for sustainable sourcing to ease customs clearance
• Label packages clearly as 'frozen whole Stimson's clams' to prevent reclassification as parts
• Watch for moisture loss during transit; use insulated packaging to maintain frozen state per FDA rules
