U.S. imports of frozen catfish (whole, excluding fillets, livers & roes) (HS 030324) totaled $758K in April 2026, traded with 3 countries.
Importers of Frozen Catfish (Whole, Excluding Fillets, Livers & Roes) paid $166K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 22% on $758K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataGenus-level distinctions drive classification here: the US tariff schedule separates native Ictalurus species (0303240010) from Pangasius spp. (0303240020) — the Southeast Asian swai and basa varieties — with a residual line (0303240050) for other catfish. Pangasius imports from Vietnam and China have historically been subject to antidumping duty orders, making correct species identification at entry a compliance priority. All frozen fish imports are subject to FDA prior-notice requirements and may be detained for sampling under FSIS or FDA jurisdiction depending on species and processing. Importers should verify the applicable antidumping case scope before shipment, as misclassification between Ictalurus and Pangasius lines can trigger significant duty liability.

The HTS distinguishes between Ictalurus (North American catfish) and Pangasius spp. (Asian catfish such as swai and basa). Pangasius imports from Vietnam have been subject to antidumping duty orders, so misidentifying the genus can result in substantial unexpected duty liability. Importers should obtain species documentation from the foreign supplier and confirm scope rulings with a licensed customs broker.
FDA requires prior notice of arrival for all imported seafood. Frozen catfish must also comply with HACCP-based seafood safety regulations under 21 CFR Part 123, and shipments may be subject to detention and sampling if the exporter or product has a history of violations. Consult a licensed customs broker or FDA-registered agent to ensure proper filing.
