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
