Last updated: July 2026 dataFarmed predominantly in tropical freshwater systems, tilapia fillets of the genus Oreochromis enter the US under a single 10-digit line (0304310000) and must clear USDA FSIS reinspection from an approved foreign establishment before release. Colombia and Honduras are the leading suppliers, with Brazil, Mexico, and Ecuador also contributing meaningfully to US import volumes. Cold-chain integrity is a critical compliance point, as fresh (non-frozen) fillets have a narrow shelf life and any temperature excursion can trigger refusal at the port. Buyers should confirm that exporting facilities hold current FSIS equivalence approval and that country-of-origin labeling requirements are met at retail.

414 shipments/mo
Importers must present a USDA FSIS import inspection application, and the foreign processing establishment must be on FSIS's list of approved facilities. Shipments are subject to reinspection at the US port of entry for labeling, temperature, and condition compliance.
Because these fillets are chilled rather than frozen, transit time is a binding constraint — most importers rely on air freight or fast sea routes from nearby suppliers such as Colombia and Honduras. Any delay at customs can push product past acceptable temperature or freshness thresholds, resulting in refusal or destruction.
