Import Tips
• Use barcoded labels with lot codes for traceability, as required for ready-to-eat seafood under FSMA rules
• Confirm no shrimp derivatives to bypass Section 609 documentation burdens on crustacean-related imports
• File entry summaries with precise HTS to avoid automatic shifts to higher-duty general subheadings
