Last updated: April 2026 dataFrozen fish roe is a high-value specialty commodity with distinct tariff lines for sturgeon roe (0303912000), herring roe (0303914020), salmon roe (0303914040), Alaskan pollock roe (0303914050), and mullet roe (0303914060), reflecting the commercial and culinary importance of each type. Iceland leads US supply under this heading, with Canada and South Korea also significant sources, underscoring the importance of cold-water fisheries in global roe trade. Sturgeon roe — caviar — may be subject to CITES documentation requirements depending on species and origin, adding a permitting layer beyond standard FDA admissibility review. Importers should verify species-level documentation, as mislabeling of roe by species is a known compliance risk flagged by FDA.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes, in most cases. Sturgeon species are listed under CITES Appendix II, and trade in their roe — including frozen caviar — generally requires CITES export permits from the country of origin and may require US import documentation. Requirements vary by species and source country; consult the US Fish and Wildlife Service and a licensed customs broker before shipment.
Milt (fish sperm) is explicitly included in heading 030391 alongside livers and roes. If no species-specific line applies, milt would fall under the NESOI line 0303914095 covering fish livers and roes not elsewhere specified. Confirm the specific product form and species with a customs broker to ensure correct line selection.
