Last updated: August 2026 dataAtka mackerel (Pleurogrammus monopterygius), a North Pacific greenling species harvested primarily in Alaskan waters, is a significant commercial species in the US groundfish fishery and is also exported to Asian markets. Under 0303890046, the product must be in frozen whole or dressed form — not filleted — and livers and roes must be absent or separately classified. As a domestically harvested species, this line is more relevant to US export flows than to imports, though re-imports of processed product can occur. NOAA fishery management regulations govern domestic harvest, and FDA rules apply to any imported product.

No. Atka mackerel (Pleurogrammus monopterygius) is a greenling, not a true mackerel, and it has its own dedicated HTS line at 0303890046. Pacific mackerel (Scomber japonicus) is classified under a different heading covering true mackerels. Misidentifying the species on entry documents can result in classification errors and potential penalties.
Frozen whole Atka mackerel is primarily exported from the US to Asian markets — particularly Japan and South Korea — where it is valued as a grilled fish. Domestic US consumption is limited. Importers of re-processed Atka mackerel products should verify whether the processing step (e.g., filleting) changes the applicable HTS classification.
