Import Tips
• Label with scientific name (Pangasius hypophthalmus) and harvest date; FDA requires lot traceability for potential recalls
• Declare net weight accurately, excluding glaze/ice; over-glazing is a frequent audit trigger
• Partner with accredited labs for histamine testing, critical for scombroid risk even in freshwater species
