Import Tips
• Provide lab certificates confirming no adulteration or addition of binders, as pellets are defined separately in chapter notes
• Use IQF (individually quick frozen) documentation if applicable to distinguish from block-frozen for quality compliance
• Monitor for anti-dumping duties on conch from specific countries like Honduras or Colombia
