Frozen Tilapia, Catfish, Carp, Eels, Nile Perch & Snakeheads (Non-Fillet)

Snakeheads (Channa spp.) are listed as injurious wildlife under the Lacey Act, making it illegal to import live snakeheads into the US. Frozen, processed snakehead product is generally not subject to the same prohibition, but importers should confirm the product is fully processed and non-viable, and should check with USFWS and any applicable state regulations before importing, as some states have additional restrictions.

Line 0304931090 specifically covers tilapia and related species meat frozen in bulk containers greater than 6.8 kg — a format used for industrial further processing. Line 0304930000 covers all other non-fillet frozen forms of these species not meeting that bulk-pack threshold. Importers must confirm the net weight per container and the product form to select the correct 10-digit line.
