Last updated: August 2026 dataIctalurus species — the genus that includes the classic American channel catfish — are classified at 0304620010 and fall under USDA FSIS mandatory inspection as part of the broader Siluriformes regulatory framework. Domestically farmed channel catfish is a major US aquaculture product, but imports under this line do occur and must originate from FSIS-approved foreign establishments. Correct genus-level identification on commercial documentation is essential, as misclassification between Ictalurus and Pangasius lines can trigger compliance issues at the port of entry.

The distinction is biological: Ictalurus is the genus of North American channel and blue catfish, while Pangasius covers Southeast Asian species such as basa and tra. The two genera have different flavor profiles, fat content, and fillet geometry, and they classify under separate 10-digit HTS lines (0304620010 and 0304620020, respectively). Species identification by scientific name on the commercial invoice is the standard documentation practice.
Antidumping and countervailing duty orders on catfish fillets have historically targeted Vietnamese Pangasius, not Ictalurus species. However, trade remedy coverage can change; importers should verify current AD/CVD order scope with CBP or a licensed customs broker before entry.
