Import Tips
• Provide lab tests confirming no heavy metals or pathogens, as CBP often inspects high-value crustacean imports
• Declare exact processing location; transshipped goods may face additional origin verification
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'generic crabmeat'—specify Callinectes sapidus to match subheading
