Import Tips
• Obtain verifiable chain of custody documentation proving no forced labor in harvest per section 609; non-compliance leads to denial of entry
• Declare exact species (e.g
• L. vannamei) and processing details in statistical note 1 fields for accurate tracking
• Test for antibiotics and contaminants per FDA import alerts; provide COA from accredited labs to expedite clearance
