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
