Import Tips
• Verify product is ground to flour consistency and labeled 'fit for human consumption' to avoid reclassification to Chapter 03 fresh products
• Include lab analysis confirming mollusc origin and absence of binders exceeding pellet definitions in chapter notes
• Comply with FDA seafood HACCP requirements; common pitfall is inadequate moisture content documentation for dried flours
