Last updated: April 2026 dataServing as the catch-all for live animals not covered by any other Chapter 1 heading, this heading includes live worms (0106900110), live bait other than worms (0106900120), and a broad residual category (0106900180) that can encompass invertebrates, amphibians, and other organisms not specifically classified elsewhere. USDA APHIS and the US Fish & Wildlife Service share jurisdiction depending on species, and CITES controls apply to any listed species regardless of how obscure the organism. Live bait imports are of particular interest to fisheries managers, as the introduction of non-native species can have significant ecological consequences.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Beyond USDA APHIS permit requirements, live bait imports are scrutinized by state fish and wildlife agencies and the US Fish & Wildlife Service for invasive species risk. Many states prohibit the release or sale of non-native bait species, and some ports of entry require certification that the shipment is free of regulated aquatic invasive species before clearance.
Jurisdiction depends on the biological classification and intended use of the organism. USDA APHIS covers most terrestrial and some aquatic animals under its animal health and plant protection authorities; the US Fish & Wildlife Service handles CITES-listed species and wildlife subject to the Lacey Act; and CDC may be involved for species known to carry zoonotic diseases. Consulting a licensed customs broker and the relevant agency before shipment is strongly advisable given the complexity of overlapping authorities.
