Import Tips & Compliance
• Declare pellet binder content (<10% typically) to confirm 'small quantity' per chapter note and avoid chemical additive scrutiny
• Comply with USDC shrimp/crawfish import reporting; statistical note applies broadly to crustaceans
• Test for moisture content to ensure 'frozen' status, preventing reclass to dried forms under 0309.90.50
