Last updated: July 2026 dataTwo biologically and commercially distinct species share this HS6 heading: Nile perch (Lates niloticus), a large freshwater predator prized in African and European food markets, and snakeheads (Channa spp.), which are subject to separate regulatory attention in the US due to their invasive-species status. At the 10-digit level, the US schedule separates them — 0303290110 for Nile perch and 0303290150 for snakeheads — making species-level documentation critical. Vietnam leads US import supply, with Tanzania a key source specifically for Nile perch given its proximity to Lake Victoria.

Yes. Several snakehead species (Channa spp.) are listed as injurious wildlife under the Lacey Act, which can restrict their importation into the US. Importers must verify that the specific species being imported is not prohibited and may need to coordinate with the US Fish and Wildlife Service in addition to meeting FDA HACCP requirements. Consult a licensed customs broker and legal counsel familiar with wildlife import regulations before importing snakeheads.
The US uses 10-digit HTS lines to apply more granular statistical tracking and, where applicable, different duty or regulatory treatment than the international HS6 allows. Separating Nile perch (0303290110) from snakeheads (0303290150) enables Customs and Border Protection to monitor trade flows and enforce species-specific rules — including Lacey Act compliance for snakeheads — at the entry level.
