Import Tips
• Verify species compliance with Section 609 of Public Law 101-162; provide documentation proving crawfish are farm-raised, not wild-harvested from protected habitats
• Include detailed packing lists specifying 'peeled tail meat only' to avoid misclassification as unpeeled (1605.40.20)
• Obtain FDA prior notice and ensure IQF packaging to meet seafood HACCP import requirements; watch for anti-dumping duties from China
