Import Tips
• Verify species compliance with section 609 of Public Law 101-162 if derived from shrimp-related processes, though primarily for molluscs
• Provide certificates of analysis confirming it's a pure extract without additives to avoid reclassification as a prepared product
• Label with exact aquatic source and ensure FDA prior notice for seafood imports to prevent holds at entry
