Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit ingredient breakdown showing surimi's fish base (pollock) to justify 'containing fish meat' classification
• Comply with FDA prior notice for ready-to-eat seafood and allergen labeling for fish and shellfish
• Watch for CBP scrutiny on 'imitation' products; retain manufacturing records to prove crab flavoring doesn't dominate
