Import Tips
• Label with exact species (e.g
• Macrobrachium spp.) to distinguish from shrimp subheading 1605.20
• Obtain prior notice via FDA's PREDICT system for all seafood imports to prevent holds
• Monitor EU re-export certificates if transshipped, as misdeclared origins lead to antidumping scrutiny
