Import Tips
• Distinguish farm-raised U.S. catfish from imported via country of origin marking; 'Product of USA' requires substantial transformation
• Provide aquaculture certification if from Asia to counter anti-dumping sentiments on catfish
• Frozen fillets must not be minced; mincing shifts to statistical breakouts or other codes
