Import Tips

• Verify species documentation with scientific names (Pangasius hypophthalmus) to confirm HTS 0304.32.0020 classification; mislabeling as generic catfish risks reclassification

• Comply with FDA seafood HACCP and prior notice requirements; include certificates of origin from Vietnam or approved exporters

• Avoid common pitfalls like improper temperature logs during transit, which can lead to rejection at ports for spoilage concerns
