Import Tips
• Label with exact species (Ictalurus furcatus) and provide aquaculture certification to meet U.S. import standards
• Use insulated packaging with ice packs; improper chilling risks duty reclassification to frozen
• Check for anti-dumping duties on catfish from certain origins like Vietnam
