Import Tips
• Include processing details (pasteurization temp/time) in documentation to prove preparation status beyond simple cooking
• Label with country of origin and species; pitfall is generic 'scallop' labeling leading to CBP queries
• Check for EU export certificates if from regulated waters to meet U.S. import safety standards
