Last updated: August 2026 dataChina dominates US supply of frozen tilapia fillets, with Indonesia, Vietnam, Taiwan, and Honduras rounding out the major source countries — a concentration that exposes importers to Section 301 tariff exposure on Chinese-origin product. Tilapia is one of the most widely consumed farmed fish in the US retail and foodservice sectors, prized for its mild flavor, boneless fillet format, and year-round availability from aquaculture operations. All shipments require FDA prior notice and are subject to seafood HACCP regulations; product from certain origins may also be subject to USDA FSIS import monitoring programs. The heading resolves to a single 10-digit tariff line, 0304610000, simplifying classification but not the compliance burden.

Yes. Chinese-origin frozen tilapia fillets are subject to Section 301 tariffs. Importers should confirm the current applicable list and rate with a licensed customs broker, as Section 301 measures have been subject to revision.
Importers must file FDA prior notice before arrival and maintain seafood HACCP records. Shipments from certain countries may also be subject to FDA import alerts or USDA monitoring programs, so verifying the admissibility status of the specific foreign establishment is essential before shipment.
