Import Tips
• Label containers clearly with lobster and fish content percentages to support 1605.30.05.10 classification over general crustacean headings
• Obtain certificates of origin and species identification to comply with seafood import regulations and avoid antidumping duties
• Test for contaminants like heavy metals common in shellfish; non-compliance leads to FDA detention
