Import Tips
• Include FDA prior notice and ensure product meets human-grade standards with no contaminants
• Declare exact crustacean species (e.g
• snow crab) as duties may vary by type under statistical suffixes
• Avoid common pitfall of insufficient temperature logs leading to thawed reclassification under 0309.90.50
