Import Tips
• Supply species certificates (e.g
• Homarus americanus) and catch documentation for traceability
• Watch for EU/Asian origin surcharges; declare exact fill weight to prevent under-valuation claims
• Use tamper-evident seals and include shelf-life data to pass CBP agricultural inspections
