U.S. exports of dried, salted, brined, or smoked rock lobster & sea crawfish (HS 030691) totaled $45K in December 2025, traded with 1 country.
Last updated: December 2025 dataPreserved forms of rock lobster and sea crawfish — dried, salted, in brine, or smoked — are classified under a single 10-digit line (0306910000), distinct from the fresh/chilled and frozen presentations of the same species. These preservation methods extend shelf life significantly and are associated with specialty ethnic food markets and certain Asian culinary traditions where dried seafood commands premium pricing. FDA admissibility and seafood HACCP requirements govern entry, and smoked or salt-cured products may also be subject to labeling requirements specific to their processing method.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Fresh and chilled rock lobster classifies under 030631, frozen rock lobster under 030691's frozen counterpart headings, and dried, salted, brined, or smoked rock lobster under 030691 (specifically 0306910000). The preservation method is the key classification driver. Importers should ensure the invoice clearly states the processing method, as CBP will use that to determine the correct heading.
Dried and smoked seafood products must comply with FDA's seafood HACCP regulations, which include specific hazard controls for smoked and smoke-flavored fish and shellfish (Clostridium botulinum is a regulated hazard). Labels must accurately identify the species, country of origin, and any added ingredients such as salt or smoke flavoring. Products that are shelf-stable through drying or salting still require FDA Prior Notice before US arrival. Consult a licensed customs broker or FDA-registered food facility consultant to confirm full compliance requirements.
