Import Tips
• Obtain CITES permits if abalone species are protected; declare salt content to avoid reclassification
• Test for moisture levels to confirm 'dried' status versus fresh, preventing duty disputes
• Use proper NAICS codes for seafood processors on entry forms to streamline customs clearance
