U.S. Trade with French Southern and Antarctic Lands

This code appears most commonly in connection with fishery products harvested in the TAAF exclusive economic zone, or occasionally with scientific and research supplies. Importers should confirm that the declared origin accurately reflects where the goods were produced or caught, as transshipment through other French territories is common.

Fish and seafood products entering the US are subject to FDA admissibility review regardless of origin. Products from remote EEZ fisheries should be accompanied by complete catch documentation to satisfy both FDA requirements and any applicable seafood traceability program obligations. Consulting a licensed customs broker is advisable given the unusual origin.
