U.S. exports of fresh or chilled tilapia (whole/dressed, excluding fillets, livers & roes) (HS 0302710000) totaled $563K in June 2026, traded with 9 countries.
Tilapia ranks among the most widely farmed freshwater fish globally, and HTS 0302710000 covers the fresh or chilled whole or dressed form — the presentation used in live-fish markets, ethnic grocery channels, and food-service accounts that prefer head-on, scaled product. The species is predominantly aquaculture-raised, making country-of-origin traceability and aquaculture certification (e.g., Best Aquaculture Practices) key commercial considerations for US buyers. FDA entry review and, where applicable, USDA Agricultural Marketing Service country-of-origin labeling requirements apply to retail fresh tilapia.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes. Fresh and chilled fish, including tilapia, sold at retail in the US are subject to COOL requirements under the Agricultural Marketing Act, administered by USDA AMS. Importers and retailers must disclose the country of origin on point-of-sale labeling. Foodservice accounts are generally exempt from COOL requirements.
While no single certification is legally mandated for import, major US retailers and foodservice buyers commonly require third-party aquaculture certifications such as Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) or Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) to meet sustainability procurement policies. FDA's Seafood HACCP regulations also require importers to verify that foreign suppliers have adequate food-safety controls in place.
