Import Tips
• Use IQF processing certificates to prove compliance with freezing standards and prevent thawing issues during customs inspection
• Label with exact species (C. opilio) and size ('small') to match HTS criteria and avoid reclassification to general crabmeat
• Check for anti-dumping duties on Asian-sourced snow crab; provide origin certificates for potential exemptions
