Import Tips

Verify origin compliance with Section 609 if involving shrimp-related supply chains, though king crab is exempt; provide CITES documentation if sourced from protected Alaskan stocks

Ensure airtight container integrity certification and accurate net weight labeling on cans to avoid reclassification or penalties

Conduct lab testing for species identification (Paralithodes camtschaticus) to confirm king crab classification and prevent mislabeling fines
