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
