Import Tips

• Verify species identification via scientific name (Pangasius spp.) on documentation to confirm catfish classification and avoid misclassification as other fish

• Ensure compliance with FDA HACCP and seafood import monitoring; provide certificates of analysis for contaminants like antibiotics common in aquaculture

• Frozen fillets must be < -18°C upon import; declare net weight accurately excluding glaze/icing to prevent duty underpayment penalties
