Monday, December 14, 2009, 23:50 (GMT + 9) The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced on Friday its first debarment of a food importer. A man was sentenced to five years in prison and fined USD 12 million for his role in a conspiracy to import pangasius from Vietnam for fraudulent sale to avoid paying federal import tariffs. The importer has been barred from importing food products or offering such articles for import into the US for the next 20 years. Peter Xuong Lam, president of Virginia Star Seafood Corporation of Fairfax in Virginia, participated in a conspiracy to sell frozen pangasius fillets falsely labelled as sole, grouper, flounder, snakehead, channa and other species exempt from federal import tariffs.
