• Label clearly as 'cooked lobster meat - not frozen' to match HTS description and prevent reclassification
• Obtain bivalve molluscan shellfish documentation if any contamination risks, though lobster is crustacean
• Check country of origin; some lobster species may trigger additional seafood import restrictions
