Import Tips & Compliance
• Disclose full batter composition (wheat flour, starch) for FDA prior notice and allergen labeling requirements
• Ensure statistical note 1 reporting with exact shrimp species (e.g
• Litopenaeus vannamei) to satisfy CBP verification
• Avoid over-breading; excessive non-shrimp content risks reclassification as stuffed food preparations
