Import Tips
• FDA novel food consultation required for insects; provide allergen labeling as cross-contamination with shellfish is common
• Declare exact insect species to comply with subheading notes linking to Chapter 3 species
• Avoid bulk dried insects under 0410, which are for non-prepared forms
