Import Tips
• Include detailed commercial invoices specifying fillet preparation (skinless/boneless) and chill method (ice-packed)
• Comply with US aquaculture labeling rules if from farm-raised sources to prevent customs holds
• Test for antibiotics/residues as catfish imports often face enhanced FDA scrutiny
