Import Tips
• Ensure country-of-origin labeling distinguishes mollusc vs fish sources for traceability
• Test for heavy metals common in snails; import pitfalls include rejected shipments without COA
• Document as 'prepared meals' with recipes to prevent downgrade to mere 'products containing fish meat'
