Import Tips
• Label clearly as 'boiled and chopped clams' with net weight and species to facilitate CBP review
• Test for moisture content to ensure not 'dried' which would shift to 1604.90 or other headings
• Watch for country-of-origin rules; imports from certain areas may trigger additional seafood inspections
