Last updated: August 2026 dataStromboid conchs (Strombus spp.), classified under a single US tariff line (0307840000), are a niche but commercially significant shellfish traded primarily from Caribbean and Central American sources, with Nicaragua and Honduras leading US supply. Queen conch (Strombus gigas) — the dominant species in this trade — is listed under CITES Appendix II, meaning exports from source countries require a valid CITES export permit and US Fish & Wildlife Service import documentation before the shipment can be released. FDA also exercises admissibility oversight as a seafood product subject to HACCP requirements. Importers should verify that supplier countries hold current CITES non-detriment findings, as permit lapses can halt entire shipments.

6 import shipments a month
Queen conch (Strombus gigas) is listed on CITES Appendix II due to overharvesting concerns. Exporters in source countries must obtain a CITES export permit based on a non-detriment finding, and US importers must file a CITES import declaration with the US Fish & Wildlife Service at the port of entry. Shipments lacking valid CITES documentation are subject to seizure.
Several Caribbean source countries impose seasonal fishing closures or annual catch quotas on queen conch to comply with CITES sustainability requirements. Nicaragua and Honduras, the leading suppliers to the US, periodically adjust their export seasons, which can create supply gaps. Importers are advised to monitor source-country fishery management announcements and maintain buffer inventory accordingly.
