Import Tips
• Provide section 609 Program documentation including DMF (Documentation, Monitoring, and Fishery) validation for aquaculture or wild-caught shrimp
• Label packages clearly with breading ingredients and net weight to meet FDA seafood HACCP requirements and avoid detention
• Confirm non-airtight packaging; bulk frozen bags classify here, while retail trays might trigger retail set considerations
