Import Tips
• Verify species identification via scientific name (Pangasius spp.) with certificates of origin to avoid misclassification
• Ensure compliance with FDA seafood HACCP and import alerts for contaminants; provide prior notice via FDA system
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as fillets—whole frozen fish must exclude heading 0304 meat to stay in 0303
