Import Tips
• Verify cooking process documentation to confirm classification as 'other' processed molluscs under 0307, avoiding misclassification as fresh/chilled (0307.59)
• Ensure compliance with FDA seafood HACCP regulations and provide certificates of origin to avoid anti-dumping duties on certain bivalves
• Check for Section 609 shrimp provisions if any shrimp bycatch is present, though primarily for molluscs; label accurately for 'cooked' status
