Import Tips
• Verify container net weight exceeds 6.8kg including contents; provide lab analysis confirming tilapia species (Oreochromis spp.)
• Ensure cold chain documentation (bill of lading temp logs) to prevent reclassification as fresh/chilled under 0304.41
• Avoid mislabeling as retail packs under 0304.93.20; bulk packaging must not resemble consumer-ready units
