U.S. exports of fresh or chilled alaska pollock (whole/dressed, excluding fillets, livers & roes) (HS 0302550000) totaled $3K in June 2026, traded with 2 countries.
Alaska pollock is the world's largest-volume whitefish fishery and a cornerstone of the US seafood processing industry, primarily harvested in the Bering Sea under the Magnuson-Stevens Act's domestic management regime. This line covers the fish in whole or dressed fresh/chilled form, distinct from the fillets and surimi-grade product that dominate commercial trade. Because Alaska pollock is predominantly a domestic US catch, imports of fresh whole product are relatively limited, but shipments from Russian or other North Pacific sources do occur and must clear FDA's seafood HACCP admissibility process. A subsequent NESOI line (0302555000) captures product not covered here.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The vast majority of Alaska pollock is harvested by US vessels in the Bering Sea and processed at sea or in Alaskan shore plants into frozen fillets, surimi, or roe. The cold-chain logistics of shipping fresh whole pollock internationally are challenging given the remote harvest locations, making frozen and processed forms the dominant trade format.
Alaska pollock was reclassified from Theragra chalcogramma to Gadus chalcogrammus following a taxonomic revision. Older trade documents, catch certificates, and supplier specifications may use either name. Both refer to the same commercial species, but importers should ensure their FDA labeling and entry documentation use the currently accepted scientific name to avoid admissibility questions.
