Last updated: August 2026 dataLive eels of the genus Anguilla occupy a single 10-digit line (0301920000) and sit at the intersection of food-safety, wildlife-trade, and aquaculture-disease regulations. Several Anguilla species are monitored under CITES appendices due to declining wild populations, so importers must verify whether the specific species and source country require CITES documentation. Morocco and New Zealand lead US supply, with Canada, Bangladesh, and Egypt also among recorded sources — a geographically diverse supplier base that reflects both wild-capture and aquaculture origins.

Anguilla anguilla (European eel) is listed on CITES Appendix II, requiring export permits from the country of origin. Other Anguilla species may be subject to national-level protections in their source countries. Importers should confirm the species identity and obtain any required CITES documentation before shipment to avoid detention at the port of entry.
USDA APHIS may require health certificates attesting freedom from notifiable aquatic diseases such as Anguillid herpesvirus. FDA oversight applies if the eels are destined for human consumption. Given the diversity of source countries — ranging from Morocco to New Zealand — documentation requirements can vary significantly by origin, and consulting a licensed customs broker or APHIS specialist is advisable.
