Import Tips
• Verify compliance with Section 609 of Public Law 101-162 requiring certification that shrimp are not harvested by vessels engaged in illegal fishing
• Provide FDA prior notice and ensure proper labeling for species (e.g
• Litopenaeus vannamei) and country of origin
• Avoid misclassification by confirming packaging is not airtight; bulk frozen bags qualify as 'Other'
