Import Tips
• Declare color origin (black lip oyster) accurately to match GRI rules and avoid undervaluation claims
• Use breathable mesh bags for bulk import to prevent damage that could be seen as pre-working
• Consult CBP rulings on 'unworked' status if any basic cleaning was applied post-harvest
