U.S. exports of sea urchins, nesoi (other preparations) (HS 030829) totaled $19K in December 2024, traded with 1 country.
Sea urchins in forms other than live, fresh, chilled, or frozen — including dried, salted, smoked, or in brine — are captured under the residual heading at 10-digit line 0308290100. Processed sea urchin preparations such as salted uni paste (uni shio kara) are niche but growing imports in the US specialty food market. FDA admissibility and seafood HACCP requirements apply, and importers of salted or fermented sea urchin products should pay particular attention to FDA labeling rules for allergen disclosure and ingredient listing.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Processed sea urchin products such as salted uni paste must comply with FDA food labeling regulations, including ingredient listing, net weight declaration, and allergen disclosure (sea urchin is a shellfish and must be declared as a major food allergen). Products with added preservatives or flavor enhancers require full ingredient disclosure. Importers should review labels for compliance before shipment to avoid detention.
030829 is the residual heading covering sea urchins in all preservation states not addressed by 030821 (live/fresh/chilled) or 030822 (frozen). Product state at the time of importation is the controlling factor: a dried or salted sea urchin product that was frozen at some point in processing but is imported in dried form would classify here, not under 030822.
