Import Tips
• Verify Section 609 compliance for shrimp content with certification of origin and harvest documentation
• Label net weight, species (e.g
• shrimp), and ingredients clearly to avoid misclassification
• Ensure refrigeration chain; common pitfall is spoilage claims leading to FDA rejections
