Import Tips
• IQF products must show blast-freezing evidence (-18°C or below); test for moisture content to avoid 'glazed weight' disputes
• Check for anti-dumping duties on Vietnamese basa; use CBP's AD/CVD database for cash deposit rates
• Ensure no added salt or binders, as that would disqualify from 0304 and shift to pellets or preserved categories
