Several carp species — including common carp, grass carp, bighead carp, and silver carp — are classified under this heading, but their importation into the US is heavily restricted because multiple species are designated as injurious wildlife under the Lacey Act. Mexico and Canada are the top suppliers, followed by South Korea and Thailand. The US schedule splits the heading into two 10-digit lines (0301930200 and 0301930290), and importers must confirm that the specific carp species being shipped is not federally prohibited before arranging any shipment, as violations carry significant civil and criminal penalties.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Bighead carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis), silver carp (H. molitrix), black carp (Mylopharyngodon piceus), and grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) are among the species listed as injurious wildlife, making their importation unlawful without a special permit. Common carp (Cyprinus carpio) is not federally listed as injurious but may be restricted by individual states. Importers should consult US Fish & Wildlife Service and the destination state's regulations before any shipment.
Line 0301930200 and line 0301930290 (NESOI) subdivide the carp heading within the US tariff schedule. The distinction typically turns on species or other classification criteria specified in the applicable tariff notes. Because the practical boundary between these lines can be nuanced, importers should work with a licensed customs broker and provide precise species identification on entry documentation.
