Import Tips
• Certify farm-raised status for tilapia to leverage potential trade programs or lower scrutiny
• Prevent condensation in shipping to maintain 'frozen' status; refreezing voids simple frozen classification
• Label as 'minced fish meat, not for human consumption' if destined for non-food use to ease entry
