A commercially diverse grouping, this heading brings together warm-water and tropical species — tilapia (Oreochromis spp.), catfish, carp, eels (Anguilla spp.), Nile perch (Lates niloticus), and snakeheads (Channa spp.) — when processed by smoking. Snakeheads (Channa spp.) are federally listed injurious wildlife under the Lacey Act, which can complicate admissibility even in processed form; importers should confirm regulatory status with USFWS before shipping. All entries are subject to FDA seafood HACCP review, and the single US tariff line 0305440100 covers the entire species range.
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 injurious wildlife under the Lacey Act, and importation — including processed or smoked forms — is generally prohibited without a federal permit. Importers should consult the US Fish and Wildlife Service and a licensed customs broker before attempting to import any snakehead product.
FDA requires prior notice and reviews all imported smoked fish under its seafood HACCP regulations (21 CFR Part 123). Foreign processors must maintain HACCP plans addressing hazards specific to smoked fish, including pathogen control during the smoking process. Shipments from establishments with prior FDA refusals may face automatic detention.
