Import Tips
• Maintain strict cold chain (below 4°C) with calibrated thermographs; US Customs requires proof for fresh/chilled status
• Provide aquaculture farm certifications to address anti-dumping concerns on Vietnamese pangasius imports
• Label with country of origin and 'Pangasius spp.' explicitly to prevent confusion with channel catfish (Ictalurus)
