Import Tips
• Verify species identification with documentation like catch certificates to comply with HTS species-specific classification
• Ensure containers weigh over 6.8 kg with contents and are not airtight; mispackaging leads to reclassification
• Check for Section 609 restrictions if involving shrimp byproducts, though not directly applicable here
