Import Tips
• Label containers clearly with net weight and species; FDA requires species identification for catfish imports
• Avoid processing beyond scaling/removal to prevent shift to higher processed codes; inspect for 'otherwise processed' additives
• Use refrigerated shipping to maintain chilled status; temperature logs help prove condition at entry
