Import Tips
• Include veterinary health certificates confirming no pathogens, as chilled molluscs face strict USDA/APHIS scrutiny
• Label clearly as 'chilled' with temperature logs; exceeding chill thresholds risks reclassification as live or spoiled
• Check state-specific restrictions—some US ports ban certain abalone due to disease risks like withering syndrome
