Import Tips

Verify fish species certification as tilapia (Oreochromis spp.) and ensure surimi processing complies with FDA seafood HACCP standards

Provide documentation proving container weights exceed 6.8 kg with contents; common pitfall is misclassification due to retail packaging

Check for anti-dumping duties on Asian tilapia imports and include prior notice via FDA import system
