Edible fish fins and other offal not covered by the heads/tails/maws heading — preserved by smoking, drying, salting, or brining — enter under a single 10-digit line (0305790000). Dried shark fins are the most commercially significant product in this category, commanding premium prices in Asian specialty food markets and subject to heightened regulatory scrutiny: the Shark Fin Sales Elimination Act and various state-level prohibitions affect domestic commerce, while CITES listings cover certain shark species and require permit documentation at the border. FDA prior-notice and seafood HACCP requirements apply, and importers should be prepared to provide species-level documentation to support both customs and wildlife-law compliance.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Importers must provide FDA prior notice and meet seafood HACCP requirements. If the shark species is CITES-listed, a CITES import permit from USFWS is also required. Additionally, fins must be imported naturally attached to the carcass under the Shark Finning Prohibition Act unless a specific exemption applies. Species identification documentation from the foreign supplier is essential to demonstrate compliance across all applicable frameworks.
The Shark Fin Sales Elimination Act, if enacted, would prohibit the import, export, and interstate sale of shark fins in the US. Importers should monitor the current legislative status of this and related state laws, as the domestic commerce restrictions can affect the commercial viability of importing shark fins even when customs entry is technically permissible. Consulting a licensed customs broker and legal counsel familiar with wildlife trade law is advisable.
