Import Tips

• Verify species identification with scientific names (Pangasius bocourti) via documentation to confirm HTS 0304.62.0020 classification and avoid reclassification to other catfish

• Ensure compliance with FDA seafood HACCP and Section 609 if any shrimp contamination risks; provide certificates of origin from Vietnam or approved exporters

• Label accurately as 'frozen basa fillets' without mincing to prevent shifts to heading 0304.87 for other frozen fish meat
