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
