Import Tips
• Maintain -18°C or colder throughout transit; temperature excursions void FDA safety compliance
• Declare exact species on entry summary to avoid grouping with higher-duty frozen fish
• Partner with certified labs for histamine testing, as time-temperature abuse risks scombroid poisoning in conchs
