Last updated: April 2026 dataAnguilla eels — a genus that includes European eel (Anguilla anguilla) and American eel (Anguilla rostrata) — are subject to CITES Appendix II controls for certain species, making US Fish & Wildlife Service documentation a prerequisite for many shipments. Morocco leads US supply, followed by Canada, New Zealand, Bangladesh, and Egypt, a geographically diverse supplier base that reflects both wild-capture and aquaculture sources across multiple ocean basins. The entire heading resolves to one 10-digit line (0301920000), but species-level identification is critical because CITES listing status differs by Anguilla species.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Anguilla anguilla (European eel) is listed under CITES Appendix II, requiring a valid CITES export permit from the country of origin and a US import permit from US Fish & Wildlife Service. Other Anguilla species may not currently be CITES-listed, but importers should verify the listing status of the specific species at the time of shipment, as listings can change. A Form 3-177 wildlife declaration is required at entry regardless of CITES status.
Morocco has access to Atlantic eel populations and has developed export infrastructure for live aquatic products. Its position on the Atlantic coast gives it access to species and supply chains that serve both European and North American markets, and it competes on price and availability relative to other Atlantic-basin suppliers such as Canada.
