Import Tips

• Comply with Section 609 P.L. 101-162 requiring certification that shrimp products are not harvested by slave labor in certain countries

• Provide lab analysis confirming the product is flour (particle size <180 microns) from fresh/chilled crustaceans and safe for human consumption

• Avoid misclassification as unprocessed shrimp by documenting milling process; common pitfall is insufficient temperature logs proving 'fresh/chilled' status
