Frozen Minced Alaska Pollock, Bulk Containers Over 6.8 kg imports of $19K in August 2026 ran 18% below the year-to-date monthly average of $24K.
Last updated: August 2026 dataMechanically minced Alaska pollock (excluding surimi) frozen and packed in bulk or immediate containers whose filled weight exceeds 6.8 kg each is the standard industrial format for seafood processors making fish cakes, fish sticks, and analog seafood products. The 6.8 kg container-weight threshold is the defining classification criterion: product in smaller retail-sized packs exits this line. FDA prior notice and seafood HACCP compliance documentation are required at entry; importers should retain processing records confirming the surimi exclusion to support classification.

The statutory language specifies containers 'weighing with their contents' over 6.8 kg, meaning the combined weight of the immediate container and its fish contents. Importers should confirm tare and net weights on commercial invoices and packing lists to ensure the threshold is correctly applied at entry.
Surimi undergoes additional processing steps — washing, dewatering, and cryoprotectant addition — that are typically reflected in production records and ingredient specifications. A product specification sheet or processing certificate from the foreign establishment confirming the absence of cryoprotectants and washing steps supports classification as minced pollock rather than surimi. CBP may request such documentation during a CF-28 inquiry.
