Last updated: July 2026 dataAquaculture-raised finfish enter US commerce under USDA APHIS quarantine oversight and, depending on species and processing state, may also require FDA review for food-safety compliance. Farmed fish differ from wild-caught product in traceability requirements, country-of-origin labeling obligations, and the aquaculture certifications that many retail buyers now demand. Species range from Atlantic salmon and tilapia to catfish and trout, each carrying distinct feed, antibiotic-use, and residue-testing standards that affect admissibility. Importers should confirm that the foreign aquaculture facility meets applicable US equivalency standards before shipment.

FDA requires prior notice for all imported food fish, and shipments may be subject to detention and sampling for drug residues, particularly for species raised with antibiotics. Importers should maintain records of the foreign facility's aquaculture practices and any third-party certifications to facilitate FDA review at the port of entry.
Farmed fish sold at retail in the US are subject to COOL requirements, meaning importers must document the country where the fish was farmed and, where applicable, the method of production (farm-raised vs. wild-caught). Accurate origin records from the foreign producer are essential to meet USDA Agricultural Marketing Service labeling rules.
