Last updated: April 2026 dataAlaska pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) is the world's largest single-species whitefish fishery and a foundational input for surimi, fast-food fish sandwiches, and breaded retail portions. The US schedule separates large skinned frozen blocks exceeding 4.5 kg for further processing (0304751000) — the format used by surimi and minced-fish manufacturers — from other frozen pollock fillets (0304755000). China leads US imports by a wide margin, processing Bering Sea-caught pollock for re-export; Indonesia and Vietnam are secondary processing sources. Importers should note that Alaska pollock has its own dedicated heading distinct from other pollock species under 030473.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Alaska pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) is classified separately under heading 030475 because of its distinct commercial significance and the scale of its global trade. Other pollock species (Pollachius virens, known as coalfish or saithe) fall under 030473. The separation allows CBP and trade analysts to track this strategically important species independently, and it matters for any trade-remedy or quota measures that may apply specifically to Alaska pollock.
The two primary commercial formats are large skinned frozen blocks greater than 4.5 kg (classified under 0304751000), used by surimi producers and industrial fish processors, and individually quick-frozen (IQF) or retail-sized fillets (classified under 0304755000). Declaring the wrong format can result in classification errors; the block weight threshold of 4.5 kg is the key distinguishing criterion, and pack weight should be clearly stated on the commercial invoice.
