U.S. exports of Fresh or Chilled Carp (Whole/Dressed, Excluding Fillets, Livers & Roes) (HS 0302730000) totaled $60K in August 2026, exported to 6 countries.
Last updated: August 2026 dataCarp — encompassing common carp (Cyprinus carpio), bighead, silver, and grass carp — is a staple of Asian and Eastern European fresh-fish markets, and HTS 0302730000 covers the fresh or chilled whole or dressed form. Live carp is separately classified, so this line applies to fish that have been killed and chilled but not further processed into fillets. USDA APHIS maintains strict regulations on the importation of live carp species due to invasive-species concerns, but fresh-chilled dead carp falls under FDA admissibility review rather than APHIS quarantine. Cold-chain management is particularly important given carp's susceptibility to rapid quality degradation.

USDA APHIS invasive-species restrictions primarily target live carp capable of reproduction. Fresh or chilled dead carp — the form covered by 0302730000 — is not subject to APHIS live-animal import permits, but importers should ensure product is clearly documented as dead/chilled to avoid confusion at the border. FDA retains admissibility authority for food-safety purposes.
Both lines cover fresh or chilled carp excluding fillets, livers, and roes, but 0302735000 is the NESOI residual. Importers should review the current HTS schedule to determine whether 0302730000 is the primary enumerated line or whether the NESOI provision applies to their specific carp species or presentation. A CBP binding ruling can provide certainty for recurring shipments.
