Import Tips
• Include processing logs showing only boiling/salting to defend against 'otherwise prepared' challenges
• Ensure immediate containers are truly airtight; leaks can lead to spoilage claims or reclassification
• Batch-test for contaminants per FDA guidelines, as shellfish imports face heightened scrutiny
