Import Tips
• Obtain FDA prior notice and ensure HACCP compliance for Siluriformes due to country-specific import alerts on pangasius
• Provide aquaculture certification and residue testing results to avoid detentions at U.S. ports
• Label accurately as 'catfish' if destined for retail to comply with FDA labeling rules and prevent misclassification
