Import Tips
• Comply with Section 609 PL 101-162 if containing shrimp byproducts, though rare for tuna; declare aquatic sourcing
• Use ISF filings early for refrigerated container shipments to avoid demurrage on perishable tuna imports
• Label country of catch and packing separately if processed in multiple countries to satisfy CBP rules of origin
