Import Tips

• Label with exact species and origin; Lake Victoria-sourced Nile perch requires traceability to prevent IUU fishing violations

• Use insulated packaging with gel packs to ensure temperature compliance during transit

• Obtain import permits if from aquaculture; distinguish wild-caught vs farmed for reporting
