Last updated: June 2026 dataFrozen eels of the genus Anguilla — including European eel (A. anguilla) and Japanese eel (A. japonica) — are a high-value commodity in Asian and European food markets, with significant trade flowing through aquaculture operations in East Asia. European eel (A. anguilla) is listed on CITES Appendix II, meaning international trade requires export permits from the country of origin and CITES documentation at US entry; importers must confirm permit validity before shipment. Japanese eel (A. japonica) is not currently CITES-listed but faces increasing conservation scrutiny. FDA prior notice and seafood HACCP requirements apply to all frozen eel imports. Consult a licensed customs broker and verify CITES permit status with USFWS before importing.

European eel (Anguilla anguilla) is listed on CITES Appendix II. Importers must obtain a valid CITES export permit from the exporting country and present it to USFWS at the US port of entry. Shipments without proper CITES documentation can be detained or seized.
Antidumping and countervailing duty orders have historically applied to certain processed eel products from specific origins. Importers should verify with CBP whether any active orders cover the specific species, origin, and form being imported, as the scope of such orders can be narrowly defined by product description.
