Customs Labeling - Seafood Inspection Program

peeled and P&D shrimp processed in the United States. When Customs advises
us of its decision, we will notify you. Whatever the decision of Customs,
we encourage the industry to comply with these requirements as soon as
possible.
Imported shrimp which has merely been repacked and is either not labeled
with the original foreign country of origin, or is labeled as "Product of
the U.S." is misbranded and will be afforded no grace period. Such product
is subject to seizure by the U.S. Customs Service and the Food and Drug
Administration.
