Frozen carp in whole or dressed form — covering common carp, bighead, silver carp, and related species — enters the US under this line, which sits within the freshwater fish provisions of Chapter 3. Carp is a staple protein in Central and Eastern European, Chinese, and Southeast Asian cuisines, and import demand is concentrated in ethnic retail and foodservice channels. Several carp species (bighead, silver, black, and grass carp) are federally listed as injurious wildlife under the Lacey Act, so importers must confirm that frozen product of those species is not subject to import restrictions. FDA prior notice and seafood HACCP compliance are required for all frozen fish entries. Consult a licensed customs broker regarding Lacey Act admissibility for specific carp species.

Certain carp species — including bighead, silver, black, and grass carp — are listed as injurious wildlife under the Lacey Act, which can restrict their importation even in frozen form. Importers should verify the specific species and consult with USFWS and a licensed customs broker before shipping to confirm whether an exemption or permit applies.
This subheading covers only whole or dressed frozen carp — fish that retain their skeletal structure. Carp fillets and other fish meat portions are classified under heading 0304, which carries its own set of tariff lines and may have different duty treatment.
