Import Tips
• Species-specific DNA testing may be required for Clarias imports to prevent substitution with Pangasius
• Comply with USFWS if endangered species concerns arise, though Clarias is widely farmed
• Ensure no glazing exceeds 10% of weight; excess ice glaze inflates declared value incorrectly
