Import Tips
• Include skin-on/off details in commercial invoices; skin-on may still qualify under 0304.62.0020 but document to distinguish from trimmed fillets
• Obtain aquaculture certification for traceability, as US importers face scrutiny on Pangasius from Vietnam under FDA import alerts
• Avoid bulk freezing with other species to prevent commingling and misclassification during CBP examination
