Import Tips

• Verify species identification via scientific naming (Transennella Stimsonii) with certificates to avoid misclassification as other clams

• Comply with FDA seafood HACCP and Section 609 if any shrimp contamination risk; provide harvest logs for traceability

• Avoid pitfalls like importing as 'clam meat only' which shifts to 0307.71; include shell fragments if present
