Last updated: August 2026 dataAtlantic cod (Gadus morhua) in non-fillet, non-steak fresh or chilled form — including cheeks, tongues, collars, and dressed carcasses — is the specific scope of this line, distinguishing it from the residual Gadidae line and from cod fillet provisions elsewhere in heading 0304. Cod cheeks and tongues in particular are specialty foodservice items that command premium pricing and are a primary commercial driver for this subheading. Iceland is the leading supplier of fresh Atlantic cod to the US market, and Icelandic quota cycles directly affect seasonal availability. USDA FSIS reinspection from an approved foreign establishment is required at the US port of entry.

Cod cheeks and tongues are classified as fish meat under this line (0304530010) rather than as fish offal, provided they are presented fresh or chilled and are not fillets or steaks. Fish offal has its own classification provisions, but cheeks and tongues are generally treated as edible fish meat for HTS purposes. Importers should confirm the specific cut description on the commercial invoice matches the intended classification.
Iceland's annual cod quota, set by its fisheries management authority, directly caps the volume available for export. When quotas tighten — as they have in recent years due to stock assessments — fresh cod supply to the US can drop sharply mid-season, causing price spikes. Buyers with foodservice commitments should monitor Icelandic quota announcements and consider forward contracts or frozen alternatives as contingency.
