Atlantic halibut (*Hippoglossus hippoglossus*) is the largest flatfish in the North Atlantic and commands a premium in the US fresh-fish market, particularly for high-end foodservice. Entering under 0302210010, shipments must be whole or dressed — fillets, livers, and roes are excluded and classified elsewhere. USDA FSIS does not govern fish; instead, FDA oversees seafood safety under HACCP regulations, and importers must maintain HACCP-compliant records for each shipment. Wild-caught Atlantic halibut stocks in the Northwest Atlantic remain under strict management, making aquaculture-raised product from Norway an increasingly significant supply source.

Importers must comply with FDA's seafood HACCP regulations (21 CFR Part 123), which require a HACCP plan and records verifying safe handling and temperature control throughout the cold chain. Commercial invoices should identify the species by scientific name to support correct tariff classification under 0302210010.
For HTS classification under 0302210010, the distinction between wild-caught and aquaculture-raised Atlantic halibut does not affect the tariff line — both enter under the same code. However, country of origin and any applicable fishery certification (e.g., MSC) may be relevant for buyer specifications and certain market-access requirements.
