Import Tips
• Obtain CITES or aquaculture certification if required for Pangasius to avoid antidumping duties from Vietnam
• Label with country-of-origin and species (Pangasius hypophthalmus) per FDA rules to prevent reclassification
• Monitor for contaminants; provide lab test results for heavy metals common in farmed catfish
