Import Tips

Obtain exporter's veterinary health certificate confirming no antibiotics residues, as Pangasius is scrutinized under FDA import alerts

Use insulated packaging with ice packs; declare exact chilling method to avoid disputes over 'fresh' vs 'chilled' status

Conduct pre-shipment inspections for bone fragments, a common rejection reason; include lab tests for contaminants
