Import Tips

• Verify compliance with Section 609 of P.L. 101-162 requiring certification that shrimp are not harvested by slave labor; include documentary evidence

• Provide detailed commercial invoice specifying breading composition, net weight, and confirmation of frozen state not in airtight containers

• Avoid misclassification as raw frozen shrimp (0306.17); ensure labeling clearly indicates breaded and prepared status to prevent reclassification
