U.S. imports of fresh or chilled catfish fillets (HS 030432) totaled $200K in July 2026, traded with 2 countries.
Importers of Fresh or Chilled Catfish Fillets paid $59K in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 30% on $200K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Fresh or Chilled Catfish Fillets imports of $200K in July 2026 ran 42% above the year-to-date monthly average of $141K.
Last updated: July 2026 dataCatfish fillets entering the US fresh or chilled are subject to USDA FSIS oversight under the expanded definition of 'catfish' established by the 2008 Farm Bill, which brought Pangasius and related species under mandatory FSIS inspection — a significant regulatory distinction from most other seafood. The US schedule subdivides this heading into true Ictalurus spp. (0304320010), Pangasius including basa and tra (0304320020), and a residual line (0304320000). China and Vietnam dominate supply, particularly for Pangasius/basa/tra, and both have faced scrutiny under FSIS equivalence determinations. Importers should verify that the specific genus is correctly identified on entry documents, as Ictalurus and Pangasius carry different regulatory histories.

The 2008 Farm Bill and subsequent USDA rulemaking classified Pangasius and related species as 'catfish' for regulatory purposes, transferring jurisdiction from FDA to USDA FSIS. This means foreign establishments exporting Pangasius fillets to the US must be certified under an FSIS-recognized equivalence program, the same standard applied to beef and pork.
Classification depends on the genus of the fish: Ictalurus spp. are North American true catfish, while Pangasius (including basa and tra) are Southeast Asian species. Species identification should be supported by supplier documentation and, where needed, DNA testing, as misidentification between these lines has been a focus of CBP enforcement actions.
