Provide lab testing results for antibiotics and contaminants common in farmed catfish to meet FDA import refusals

Label packages clearly with scientific name and country of origin to facilitate CBP examination

Avoid common pitfall of declaring as fillets; whole fish must retain head/guts for this code
