Last updated: August 2026 dataA narrow but technically important distinction governs this line: 0303890040 covers frozen whole or dressed tilapia of species other than Oreochromis spp., which are separately classified. Oreochromis tilapia dominate global aquaculture and trade, so this line primarily captures less common tilapia genera such as Sarotherodon or Tilapia (sensu stricto). Importers should verify genus-level species identification on supplier documentation to avoid misclassification. FDA Prior Notice is required for all imported fish, and seafood import monitoring program obligations may apply depending on the country of origin.

Oreochromis spp. (including Nile tilapia, O. niloticus) account for the vast majority of commercially farmed and traded tilapia worldwide and are classified under their own dedicated HTS line. The 0303890040 line captures the residual tilapia genera, which are traded in much smaller volumes. The distinction matters because the two lines may carry different duty rates and are tracked separately in trade statistics.
CBP may request a species certificate or a supplier's declaration identifying the genus and species of the tilapia. Aquaculture production records or a certificate from the exporting country's fisheries authority can support the claim. Without genus-level identification, CBP may default to the Oreochromis line or issue a CF-28 request for information, delaying clearance.
