Import Tips
• Include veterinary health certificates confirming no antibiotics residues per FDA import refusals
• Document exact species (Ictalurus spp.) to distinguish from Pangasius and avoid trade disputes
• Ensure fillets are not minced; mincing would classify under 'other fish meat' subheadings
