U.S. exports of Fresh or Chilled Edible Fish Offal (NESOI) (HS 0302990000) totaled $11K in August 2026, exported to 7 countries.
Last updated: August 2026 dataEdible fish offal — including swim bladders (maw), cheeks, collars, and other byproducts not classified as fillets, livers, or roes — occupies a growing niche in Asian-American foodservice and specialty retail channels, where fish maw in particular commands significant premiums. This residual line under heading 0302 covers such products in fresh or chilled form when no more specific provision applies. FDA admissibility requirements and HACCP documentation apply; importers should also verify that swim bladders and similar products are not subject to CITES controls if derived from protected species.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Potentially yes. Swim bladders (fish maw) from certain species — notably totoaba — are subject to CITES Appendix I restrictions, and trade in them is effectively prohibited. Importers of fish maw must be able to document the species of origin to confirm CITES compliance; U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service enforces CITES at the border in coordination with CBP.
Products such as fish cheeks, collars, frames, swim bladders (maw), and skin that are edible but do not qualify as fillets (heading 0304) or as livers and roes (subheading 0302.91) would fall here. The key criterion is that the product must be edible and must not fit a more specific enumerated provision within heading 0302.
