U.S. exports of frozen catfish (whole/dressed, excluding fillets, livers & roes) (HS 0303240000) totaled $66K in June 2026, traded with 18 countries.
Frozen catfish entered as whole or dressed fish — not fillets, livers, or roes — fall under this 10-digit line, which sits within the broader freshwater fish provisions of Chapter 3. The US schedule distinguishes catfish by genus: Ictalurus (North American channel catfish), Pangasius (Vietnamese basa and tra), and Silurus/Clarias species each carry separate sublines with distinct trade-remedy exposure. Importers should note that Pangasius imports from Vietnam have historically been subject to antidumping duty orders, making species-level documentation critical at entry. All frozen fish imports require FDA prior notice and are subject to seafood HACCP regulations.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The US tariff schedule breaks frozen catfish into genus-level subheadings — Ictalurus, Pangasius (basa and tra), and Silurus/Clarias — because antidumping duty orders apply specifically to Pangasius imports from Vietnam. Misidentifying the species on entry documents can result in incorrect duty assessment or a request for further information from CBP.
Importers must file FDA prior notice before arrival and maintain seafood HACCP records. If the product originates from a country subject to antidumping orders (notably Vietnam for Pangasius), an antidumping certificate or cash deposit may also be required. A licensed customs broker can help ensure the correct genus-level HTS subheading is declared.
