Last updated: August 2026 dataSnapper of the family Lutjanidae, frozen in whole or dressed form, enters under this line — a family that includes red snapper (Lutjanus campechanus) and numerous tropical species sourced from Latin American, Caribbean, and Indo-Pacific fisheries. Species identity is a recurring compliance issue: FDA has taken enforcement action against mislabeled snapper, and importers must ensure the declared species matches FDA's acceptable market names. All imported seafood is subject to FDA Prior Notice and admissibility review, and certain Lutjanidae species may trigger SIMP recordkeeping obligations. Buyers should confirm that suppliers provide species-level documentation, not just family-level identification.

FDA has identified snapper as one of the most frequently mislabeled seafood products in the US market. Because dozens of species within Lutjanidae are sold as 'snapper,' importers must obtain species-specific identification from suppliers and ensure labels use FDA-accepted market names to avoid detention or refusal at the border.
Most commercially traded Lutjanidae species are not CITES-listed, but importers should verify the status of the specific species being shipped, as CITES listings can change. If a species is listed, a CITES import permit and export certificate from the country of origin are required before the shipment can be cleared.
