Import Tips

Verify container gross weight ≤680g and confirm airtight packaging to stay in 1605.56.15.00; larger packs shift to other subheadings

Provide species identification (e.g

Manila clam) and processing details in documentation to avoid reclassification as 'prepared' under 1605.56.40

Comply with FDA seafood HACCP and shellfish safety standards; common pitfall is inadequate salinity declaration for salted products
