Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide detailed processing records showing no mincing or additives to stay in heading 0304 rather than Chapter 16
• Comply with USDA/APHIS import permits if required for aquaculture products and test for veterinary drug residues
• Label with country of origin prominently, as pangasius often faces additional duties or quotas from Vietnam
