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
