Last updated: August 2026 dataFrozen fillets of dogfish, other sharks, rays, and skates (Rajidae) are classified under HTS 0304880000, the sole 10-digit line covering all elasmobranch fillet forms in this heading. FDA's mandatory HACCP seafood safety program applies at entry, and species-specific CITES controls may require additional permitting depending on the shark or ray species involved. Panama leads US supply under this line, followed by Mexico and Taiwan. Accurate species identification on shipping documents is a recurring compliance focus given the breadth of species that can fall within this single tariff line.

Yes. All imported seafood, including frozen elasmobranch fillets, must be processed under an FDA-compliant HACCP plan. Foreign processors must be registered with FDA, and importers bear responsibility for verifying that their suppliers meet these requirements. Shipments may be detained or refused if HACCP records are inadequate.
Panama's position reflects its role as both a fishing nation and a transshipment hub in the Eastern Pacific, where dogfish and shark fisheries are active. Its geographic proximity to US ports and established cold-chain infrastructure contribute to its leading supplier status under this tariff line.
