U.S. exports of stromboid conchs — live, fresh or chilled (HS 030782) totaled $455K in June 2026, traded with 1 country.
Queen conch (Aliger gigas, formerly Strombus gigas) dominates trade in live and fresh stromboid conchs and is listed on CITES Appendix II, making export permits from the country of origin a mandatory condition of US entry for wild-harvested product. The single 10-digit line (0307820000) covers all stromboid species in this preservation state, so the CITES compliance burden falls on every shipment regardless of volume. Caribbean source countries are the primary suppliers of queen conch, and quota or export restrictions imposed by those governments can create supply interruptions independent of US import policy.

A valid CITES export permit issued by the exporting country's management authority is required for wild-caught queen conch (Aliger gigas). In addition, FDA requires that the product originate from an NSSP-recognized shellfish control program or equivalent. Both sets of documents should be presented at the port of entry; missing either can result in detention or refusal of the shipment.
Farmed (aquaculture) queen conch may qualify for a CITES exemption if the exporting country certifies the product as captive-bred under Article VII of the Convention. However, the burden of proof rests with the importer and exporter to document the aquaculture origin convincingly. Consult USFWS and a licensed customs broker before relying on this exemption.
