Import Tips
• Include documentation proving shrimp origin complies with US anti-IUU fishing laws under Section 609
• Label net weight, breading ingredients, and allergen warnings (shellfish) per FDA rules
• Confirm breading doesn't exceed 30% by weight to avoid reclassification as a different prepared food
