Import Tips
• Include aquaculture certification to meet FDA import alerts on antibiotics in catfish products
• Declare exact species (e.g
• Ictalurus punctatus) to distinguish from saltwater catfish under different codes
• Avoid over-glazing; FDA limits ice glaze to 10% of weight for accurate duty calculation
