U.S. exports of alaska pollock, fresh or chilled (HS 030255) totaled $3K in June 2026, traded with 1 country.
Alaska pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) is the backbone of the US whitefish processing industry, though the vast majority of commercial volume moves frozen rather than fresh or chilled. Fresh or chilled Alaska pollock — excluding fillets, livers, and roes — is classified under two 10-digit lines: 0302550000 as the primary line and 0302555000 as the NESOI residual for other presentations. Given that Alaska pollock is predominantly harvested domestically in the Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska under strict NOAA quota management, import volumes under this heading are limited, but foreign-caught pollock from Russian or other Pacific fisheries may enter under these lines subject to SIMP traceability requirements.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes, Alaska pollock is a SIMP-covered species. Importers must hold an International Fisheries Trade Permit and submit harvest event data — including vessel, gear type, catch area, and species — through ACE at entry. This is particularly relevant for pollock sourced from Russian or other foreign Pacific fisheries, where chain-of-custody documentation must trace back to the point of harvest.
Alaska pollock is primarily harvested by the US domestic fleet in the Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska, and the catch is almost entirely processed and frozen at sea or at onshore facilities in Alaska. The fresh or chilled form is commercially viable only for fish harvested close to processing facilities with rapid transport to market, making import volumes under heading 030255 substantially smaller than for frozen pollock.
