U.S. exports of Frozen Alaskan Pollock Roe (HS 0303914050) totaled $974K in August 2026, exported to 2 countries.
Last updated: August 2026 dataAlaskan pollock roe (Theragra chalcogramma) is one of the highest-volume fish roe commodities in global seafood trade, harvested primarily in the Bering Sea and widely exported to Japan and South Korea, where it is processed into mentaiko and tarako products. US imports under this line reflect re-entry of processed or semi-processed product, as the domestic pollock fishery is among the world's largest. FDA's seafood HACCP program governs entry, and the scientific species name on commercial documentation — Theragra chalcogramma — should match the long description to avoid classification disputes. South Korea and Japan are significant trading partners for pollock roe products.

Much of the Alaskan pollock roe harvested domestically is exported to Japan and South Korea for value-added processing into products like mentaiko (spicy cod roe). Some of that processed product is then re-imported into the US, which is why import flows exist alongside a robust domestic fishery. The classification at 0303914050 covers the frozen roe in its unprocessed or minimally processed state.
The HTS long description specifies Theragra chalcogramma as the scientific name for Alaskan pollock. Commercial invoices and packing lists should use this scientific name or clearly identify the product as Alaskan pollock roe to avoid misclassification into the residual 'NESOI' line and to satisfy FDA documentation requirements.
