A broad residual line covering non-fillet meat of tilapia, catfish, carp, eels, Nile perch, and snakeheads in fresh or chilled form, 0304510190 applies when the product does not qualify as a fillet and is not Nile perch meat classifiable under the dedicated line. Snakeheads (Channa spp.) are of particular regulatory note — they are listed as injurious wildlife under the Lacey Act, and live or viable specimens are prohibited from import; processed meat for human consumption may be permissible but warrants careful legal review. FDA Prior Notice and HACCP compliance apply, and catfish species subject to USDA FSIS jurisdiction require inspection from an approved foreign establishment.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Snakeheads (Channa spp.) are designated as injurious wildlife under the Lacey Act, which prohibits importation of live fish or viable eggs. Processed snakehead meat for human consumption occupies a legal gray area — some interpretations allow it as a non-viable product, but importers should obtain a formal ruling from USFWS and consult legal counsel before attempting entry, as enforcement positions can vary by port.
The commercial invoice and packing list should identify each species by common and scientific name, specify the cut form (e.g., steaks, portions, whole dressed), and list net weights by species. For catfish species under USDA FSIS jurisdiction, the foreign establishment must appear on the FSIS-approved list, and the shipment will be subject to FSIS reinspection at the port of entry.
