Import Tips

Document surimi composition to prove fish meat inclusion; surimi is treated as crab product with fish base

Ensure jar seal meets airtight standards to prevent duty shift to non-airtight subheadings

Include country-of-origin labeling for surimi, often from Alaska pollock, and FDA prior notice
