Import Tips
• Include lab analysis or supplier specs confirming batter composition to avoid misclassification as uncoated
• Ensure country-specific shrimp notes don't apply, but check for any eel-related trade restrictions
• Label net weight accurately, as breaded products' coating weight affects declared value
