Last updated: August 2026 dataFrozen Alaska pollock fillets (Theragra chalcogramma) are a cornerstone of the US seafood processing industry, supplying the surimi, fish stick, and fast-food sandwich markets. The US tariff schedule distinguishes three lines under this heading: a general fillet line (0304750000), skinned frozen blocks exceeding 4.5 kg destined for mincing or cutting (0304751000), and a residual NESOI line (0304755000) — the block format being the dominant commercial form for further processing. China leads supply by a wide margin, with Indonesia and Vietnam also significant sources, reflecting the role of Asian processing facilities in re-exporting pollock caught in the North Pacific. All shipments require FDA prior notice and are subject to USDA NMFS seafood inspection programs; importers should verify that foreign establishments meet US admissibility standards.

Code 0304751000 applies specifically to skinned Alaska pollock fillets packed in frozen blocks weighing over 4.5 kg each, intended to be minced, ground, or cut into pieces of uniform weight and dimension — the format used for surimi and breaded product manufacturing. Code 0304750000 covers general Alaska pollock fillets frozen without that block-weight or end-use specification, while 0304755000 captures all remaining frozen pollock fillets not elsewhere classified.
A large share of Alaska pollock is harvested in the Bering Sea, shipped to China for labor-intensive filleting and block-freezing, then re-exported to the US. This processing arbitrage has historically made China the dominant supplier under this heading, though importers increasingly monitor supply-chain concentration risk and traceability requirements under US seafood import monitoring rules.
