Last updated: August 2026 dataFrozen dogfish and other shark species in whole or dressed form are split at the US 10-digit level between dogfish specifically (0303810011) and all other sharks not elsewhere specified (0303810091). Mexico and Spain are the leading suppliers under this heading. Shark trade is subject to additional scrutiny beyond standard FDA admissibility: CITES appendix listings cover several shark species, and importers must verify whether the specific species requires CITES documentation before shipment. Shark fin import restrictions under US law may also affect related product forms.

Several commercially traded shark species — including certain hammerhead, oceanic whitetip, silky, and thresher sharks — are listed under CITES Appendix II, requiring export permits from the country of origin and US Fish & Wildlife Service import documentation. Importers should confirm the species' CITES status before shipment, as the list has expanded in recent years and non-compliance can result in seizure.
Yes. Beyond CITES obligations, the Shark Conservation Act and related regulations prohibit the import of sharks that have been finned at sea. While this heading covers whole or dressed sharks rather than fins, importers should ensure that the product's processing history is documented to demonstrate compliance, particularly for species known to be targeted in fin trade.
