Import Tips
• Include scientific species certification (e.g
• Pangasius hypophthalmus) to avoid disputes with generic 'catfish' labeling
• Document blast-freezing process and temperatures to confirm 'frozen' status per HTS definitions
• Separate from shrimp imports to avoid section 609 procedural delays, even if co-loaded
