Frozen Stromboid Conchs

U.S. imports of frozen stromboid conchs (HS 030784) totaled $1.6M in April 2026, traded with 7 countries.

Last updated: April 2026 data

Frozen stromboid conchs — predominantly queen conch (Lobatus gigas) — are classified under 0307840000 and sourced almost entirely from Central American and Caribbean nations. Nicaragua, Honduras, and Belize are the leading suppliers, reflecting the commercial conch fisheries of the Western Caribbean. Queen conch's CITES Appendix II listing means that even frozen product requires a valid CITES export permit from the source country, and US Fish & Wildlife Service reviews documentation at entry. Importers should also confirm that source-country fisheries are operating within their CITES-approved export quotas before placing orders.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does CITES documentation apply to frozen conch, or only to live product?

CITES Appendix II requirements apply to all commercial trade in queen conch (Lobatus gigas) regardless of preservation state — live, fresh, frozen, or processed. A valid CITES export permit from the source country is required for every commercial shipment entering the US.

What supply-chain risk should importers consider when sourcing frozen conch from Central American suppliers?

Each CITES-member source country operates under an annual export quota for queen conch. If a country exhausts its quota mid-year, further exports become non-compliant and US entry will be refused. Importers should monitor quota utilization with their suppliers and build lead time into procurement to avoid shipments that arrive after quota closure.
