Import Tips

Verify species identification via scientific name (e.g

Pangasius hypophthalmus) on documentation to confirm catfish classification under this subheading

Confirm container net weight with contents ≤6.8kg and provide proof of fresh/chilled state (temperature logs) to avoid reclassification as frozen

Include health certificates confirming no further processing beyond scaling/gutting to prevent shifts to headings 0303 or 0304
