Import Tips
• Verify species identification via scientific name (Pangasius spp.) with certificates of origin to avoid misclassification
• Maintain cold chain documentation proving temperature below 4°C for 'fresh/chilled' status; frozen shifts to HTS 0303
• Comply with FDA seafood HACCP and Lacey Act declarations; common pitfall is offal inclusion triggering 0302.91
