Import Tips

Verify species with CITES documentation if required and ensure traceability from farm to fillet to comply with FDA seafood HACCP and country-of-origin rules

Maintain cold chain with temperatures below 4°C; provide refrigeration logs and health certificates from exporting country authorities

Avoid misclassification as generic freshwater fish; label precisely as 'Pangasius spp.' to prevent customs reclassification and penalties
