Import Tips
• Obtain FDA prior notice and ensure HACCP compliance for all seafood imports; test for antibiotics common in non-U.S
• Ictalurus sources
• Provide species-specific documentation confirming Ictalurus spp. (e.g
• channel catfish) to avoid reclassification to broader catfish headings
• Verify country of origin labeling, as U.S.-farmed channel catfish may qualify for preferential duties unlike Asian imports
