Import Tips
• Verify ingredient list confirms squid as primary with fish meat inclusion to justify 1605.54 classification
• Provide commercial invoice detailing species (e.g
• Todarodes pacificus squid, salmon) and preparation method
• Watch for Section 609 restrictions if any shrimp traces; ensure proper cold chain documentation for perishables
