Import Tips
• Comply with US antidumping duties on certain Vietnamese pangasius; declare correct producer/exporter
• Include lab certificates for veterinary drug residues; common pitfall is mislabeling basa vs swai varieties
• Use immediate containers like polyethylene bags inside boxes; weigh contents precisely to qualify for bulk rate
