Last updated: April 2026 dataLive, fresh, and chilled molluscs not covered by more specific headings — including conch (0307910330) and a broad residual category (0307910390) — enter the US primarily from Canada, with Nicaragua, Peru, Mexico, and Ecuador also supplying meaningful volumes. The two-line US structure separates conch from all other live or fresh molluscs, so correct species identification at entry is essential for proper classification. FDA seafood HACCP requirements and, where applicable, CITES documentation for regulated species such as queen conch govern admissibility; cold-chain continuity from harvest to port is a recurring compliance concern for fresh and live product.

The schedule uses two lines: 0307910330 for live, fresh, or chilled conch specifically, and 0307910390 for all other live, fresh, or chilled molluscs not elsewhere specified. Importers must identify the species at the time of entry — conch shipments that are misclassified under the residual line can trigger reclassification and potential penalties.
Extended transit times from South American suppliers increase the risk of mortality in live product and temperature excursions in fresh product, both of which can result in FDA refusal at the port of entry. Importers should ensure that foreign shippers use validated cold-chain protocols and that time-temperature records accompany each shipment to demonstrate product integrity throughout transit.
