Import Tips
• Include lab test results for contaminants to expedite FDA clearance for 'elite/pure' claims
• Declare exact species scientifically (Thunnus alalunga) on entry summary to lock in albacore subheading
• Avoid bulk packing; retail-ready cans best fit 'airtight containers' without set reclassification
