Import Tips
• Verify species certification as Euphausia superba to match HTS 0511.99.30.30; misidentification risks reclassification
• Provide proof of use as animal feed (e.g
• buyer contracts) to avoid scrutiny as human food under Chapter 3
• Check for Antarctic Treaty restrictions; obtain CCAMLR catch documents for sustainable sourcing compliance
