Last updated: August 2026 dataSilurus spp. (European wels catfish) and Clarias spp. (walking catfish and related species) are classified here when frozen in whole or dressed form, separate from the Ictalurus and Pangasius lines. These genera are less commonly traded into the US than Pangasius but are commercially important in European and Southeast Asian markets. USDA FSIS inspection applies to all Siluriformes imports, requiring that the exporting establishment hold FSIS approval. Importers should verify that Clarias spp. are not subject to state-level restrictions, as walking catfish are regulated as invasive species in several US states. Consult a licensed customs broker or FSIS regarding admissibility before importing.

Several US states prohibit possession or importation of live Clarias (walking catfish) due to invasive-species concerns. While this HTS line covers frozen product, importers should confirm that frozen Clarias is not subject to state-level restrictions at the destination and that USDA APHIS requirements are met if any live specimens are involved in the supply chain.
Under the USDA catfish inspection rule, all Siluriformes — including Silurus and Clarias — must originate from an FSIS-approved foreign establishment. Shipments are subject to reinspection at the US port of entry by FSIS inspectors before release into commerce.
