Import Tips

Provide DNA testing or supplier certification confirming Pangasius spp. to avoid disputes on species classification

Label clearly as 'fresh/chilled catfish fillets' with harvest date to demonstrate non-frozen status

Watch for common pitfall of partial freezing during transit, which could trigger reclassification to frozen HTS
