Last updated: April 2026 dataFreshwater and estuarine species — tilapia, catfish, carp, eels, Nile perch, and snakeheads — preserved by salting or brining but not dried or smoked serve specialty ethnic food markets and food-service processors in the US. Classification splits by container size: units in containers not exceeding 6.8 kg each (0305641000) versus all other formats (0305645000). South Korea and Taiwan are the leading suppliers, with Vietnam, China, and Uganda also contributing. Importers should note that snakeheads (Channa spp.) are federally listed as injurious wildlife under the Lacey Act, and live or viable specimens are prohibited — but processed, salted product is generally admissible; consult a licensed customs broker or FDA to confirm admissibility of specific species and processing states.

Snakeheads (Channa spp.) are designated injurious wildlife under the Lacey Act, making importation of live or viable specimens illegal. Fully processed, salted product that poses no live-animal risk is generally treated differently, but importers should obtain a formal ruling or consult a licensed customs broker before shipping, as enforcement interpretations can vary by port and processing method.
The two 10-digit lines under this heading turn on whether the product is packed in containers of 6.8 kg or less (0305641000) versus larger or bulk formats (0305645000). Importers should confirm net weight per individual container — not total shipment weight — at the time of packing to ensure the correct line is declared on the entry.
