Import Tips
• Verify fish is maintained below 0°C but above freezing point for 'fresh/chilled' status; include temperature logs in documentation
• Obtain health certificates confirming no antibiotics or contaminants exceeding FDA limits for aquaculture tilapia
• Avoid misdeclaration as frozen (0304.61); inspect for ice glaze which could reclassify the product
