Import Tips
• Obtain EU export health certificates confirming heat processing to meet USDA/APHIS import requirements for non-marine snails
• Label jars with country of origin, ingredients, and allergen warnings (molluscs); declare as 'prepared escargot' on entry summary
• Watch for undervaluation pitfalls; provide retail shelf-price comparables if audited for transaction value
