Import Tips

Confirm exact carp species (e.g

Hypophthalmichthys molitrix for silver carp) to stay within specified genera

Comply with USDA APHIS import permits if from regions with viral hemorrhagic septicemia risks

Use vacuum-sealed packaging to maintain 'fillet' status and avoid crushing that could reclassify as minced meat
