Import Tips
• List all breading ingredients on invoice, including coconut content, to confirm it remains a crustacean product not reclassified as prepared food
• Maintain cold chain documentation to prove frozen state upon entry; thawing can trigger reclassification
• Check for antidumping duties on specific shrimp species/origins; declare accurately to avoid penalties
