U.S. imports of fresh or chilled snakeheads, whole or dressed (nesoi) (HS 0302795076) totaled $27K in February 2025, traded with 1 country.
Snakeheads of the genus Channa, fresh or chilled and not further processed into fillets or fish meat of heading 0304, occupy this dedicated 10-digit line as a NESOI (not elsewhere specified or included) provision. The Lacey Act designation of most Channa species as injurious wildlife is the dominant compliance concern: importers must demonstrate that fish are dead and intended solely for human consumption, and shipments may be subject to US Fish & Wildlife Service review at the port of entry. Despite the regulatory complexity, demand exists in Asian-American specialty markets where snakehead is prized for its firm texture and culinary versatility. Consult a licensed customs broker and US Fish & Wildlife Service before arranging any snakehead shipment.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Importers typically need commercial invoices clearly stating the species (Channa spp.), a declaration that the fish are dead and intended for human consumption, and health certificates from the exporting country. US Fish & Wildlife Service may require additional permits or declarations at entry; working with a broker experienced in Lacey Act compliance is strongly advised.
The separate line reflects the distinct regulatory status of Channa species under the Lacey Act as injurious wildlife, allowing Customs and Border Protection and US Fish & Wildlife Service to flag and review these shipments independently from Nile perch, which carries no equivalent restriction.
