Import Tips
• Submit NOAA Fisheries DMF number on entry paperwork for section 609 compliance, especially for Asian-sourced shrimp
• Include shrimp count per pound and cooking method on invoices; discrepancies cause re-inspection and delays
• IQF packaging must not be hermetic; vacuum-sealed retail packs may reclassify under airtight subheadings
