Dear Chris,
While I cannot give you a definitive answer, I believe that the 'Shellfish
Shippers List" (which I believe you can access on the FDA website) lists all
the countries from which raw (ie, uncooked) molluscan shellfish may be
imported. My understanding is that countries on that list have entered into
an MOU with the US.
Hope that's helpful.

Subject: MOU between US and Canada
Dear All,
My understanding was that no Memorandums of Understanding (MOU) exist for
seafood currently with the FDA although several are in various stages of
negotiation.
At the same time I keep hearing that there is an MOU in place for Molluscan
Shellfish with Canada, allowing importation of molluscan shellfish, if
approved by the CFIA.
Can anyone clear up this issue and if there is an MOU in place ideally
provide documentation references?
Appreciate the help.
Regards,
Chris Denmark
