Import Tips

• Include lab analysis for species (e.g

• opilio vs bairdi) to prevent reclassification during customs exam

• Declare processing method clearly; pasteurization distinguishes from fresh/frozen under Chapter 3

• Monitor country-specific quotas or AD/CVD orders on snow crab from certain origins like Russia
