Import Tips
• Comply with US Import Alert 45-02 by testing for veterinary drug residues common in farmed catfish
• Use insulated packaging with gel packs to ensure internal temp stays below 4°C throughout shipment
• Declare exact net weight of fillets excluding ice/glaze to prevent overvaluation penalties
