Import Tips
• Ensure HACCP plans are documented for seafood processing to meet FDA entry requirements
• Label species clearly (e.g
• 'Skipjack') to avoid disputes with albacore or yellowfin classifications
• Check for section 609 restrictions if any shrimp bycatch in tuna harvest, requiring documentation
