Import Tips

• Verify species identification with scientific naming (Strombus gigas) and obtain CITES permits if sourced from regulated areas like the Caribbean to avoid seizures

• Provide FDA prior notice and ensure HACCP-compliant processing documentation, as frozen molluscs are high-risk for vibrio contamination

• Avoid misclassification as generic frozen fish by specifying 'stromboid conchs' on commercial invoices to prevent duty reassessment
