Import Tips
• Label with species (Oreochromis spp.) and harvest date; FDA requires country-of-origin for aquaculture products
• Use insulated packaging with gel packs to maintain chill chain; CBP may reject if internal temp exceeds 4°C
• Test for heavy metals like mercury; tilapia from certain regions may need additional residue monitoring
