Import Tips
• Maintain cold chain below 4°C with verifiable temperature logs to qualify as 'chilled' and avoid reclassification as frozen under 0303
• Obtain CITES permits if applicable for sustainable sourcing; provide fishery certificates to comply with seafood import regulations
• Label with scientific name (Lates niloticus) and origin to prevent misclassification as other freshwater species
