Import Tips
• Obtain FDA prior notice for shellfish powders and ensure HACCP plans address histamine risks in crustacean meals
• Provide lab analysis confirming >50% crawfish content to justify 0309 classification over mixed preparations
• Avoid common pitfall of improper freezing documentation, which could lead to duty reassessment under fresh subheadings
