Last updated: April 2026 dataChina overwhelmingly dominates US imports of frozen tilapia fillets under the single 10-digit line (0304610000), with Indonesia and Vietnam also supplying meaningful volumes — a supplier concentration that has drawn sustained trade-policy attention, including Section 301 tariff exposure on Chinese-origin product. Tilapia is one of the most widely consumed seafood items in the US foodservice and retail sectors, and the frozen fillet format is the dominant commercial form. NOAA's Seafood Import Monitoring Program designates tilapia as a priority species, requiring harvest event and chain-of-custody records at entry. FDA Prior Notice and seafood HACCP supplier verification are also mandatory.

Yes, tilapia fillets of Chinese origin have been subject to Section 301 tariffs. Importers should confirm the current applicable rate and any exclusions with a licensed customs broker, as Section 301 lists and rates are subject to ongoing review and modification by USTR.
Importers must file harvest event data — including the name and flag of the harvesting vessel, fishing area, gear type, and species — at the time of entry through ACE. They must also maintain chain-of-custody records linking the harvest event to the imported lot for a minimum of two years. Failure to maintain these records can result in cargo holds, penalties, or loss of import privileges.
