Import Tips
• Supply fishing logs and processing records to prove preparation status and avoid Chapter 3 duties
• Ensure HACCP plans address potential toxins like those in some anemone species for FDA prior notice
• Label as 'sea anemone' explicitly; vague 'invertebrate' descriptions lead to exam holds
