Import Tips

• Verify fish species with scientific name (Oreochromis niloticus) on commercial invoice and obtain FDA prior notice for seafood imports

• Maintain cold chain documentation showing temperature logs below 4°C to prove 'fresh or chilled' status and avoid reclassification as frozen

• Check for country-specific restrictions; tilapia from certain Asian producers may face antidumping duties or additional inspections
