Freshwater and estuarine species — tilapia, catfish, carp, eels, Nile perch, and snakeheads — salted or held in brine but not dried or smoked are grouped together under this heading, reflecting their shared preservation method rather than any single commercial market. The US schedule divides entries by container size: shipments in containers each weighing 6.8 kg or less (0305641000) versus all other presentations (0305645000). FDA seafood HACCP regulations and prior-notice requirements apply at importation; snakehead species also warrant attention under federal invasive-species statutes, which may affect admissibility independent of customs classification.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes. Snakeheads (family Channidae) are listed as injurious wildlife under the Lacey Act, and live specimens are prohibited from importation. For preserved (salted/brined) snakehead products, importers should confirm with USFWS and CBP that the specific form of the product does not trigger Lacey Act restrictions, in addition to meeting FDA seafood HACCP and prior-notice requirements.
The HS nomenclature groups these species together because the classification criterion at this level is the preservation method — salted or in brine, not dried or smoked — rather than species identity. Importers dealing in multiple species within this heading can consolidate shipments under a single heading, but must still ensure species-level documentation for FDA and any applicable fisheries traceability programs.
