Last updated: August 2026 dataFrozen shark meat other than dogfish, entered in whole or dressed form rather than as fillets, livers, or roes, falls under this 10-digit line. USDA FSIS reinspection is required at the port of entry for all imported frozen fish intended for human consumption. Importers should note that several shark species are subject to CITES trade controls, and documentation of species identity and legal harvest origin is a standard admissibility requirement. Proper species identification on commercial invoices is critical, as misclassification between dogfish and other shark species can trigger reclassification.

Dogfish (Squalus spp.) is excluded from this line and classified separately, so the commercial invoice and entry documentation must clearly identify the species. Misidentification can result in reclassification, delays, or penalties at the port of entry.
Several shark species — including oceanic whitetip, hammerhead, and silky sharks — are listed under CITES Appendix II, requiring export permits from the country of origin and import documentation. Importers should verify the species against current CITES listings before shipment. Admissibility is complex; consult a licensed customs broker or USFWS for current permit requirements.
