Last updated: August 2026 dataAtlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus) is the largest flatfish in the North Atlantic and commands premium pricing in both foodservice and retail channels due to its firm texture and mild flavor. Frozen whole or dressed Atlantic halibut under this line is distinct from Pacific halibut (Hippoglossus stenolepis) and from halibut fillets classified under heading 0304 — species and form both affect classification. Atlantic halibut stocks in the Northwest Atlantic have faced long-term depletion, so buyers often require documentation of origin and catch method to satisfy sustainability sourcing policies. FDA prior notice and seafood HACCP compliance are required at US entry. Consult a licensed customs broker to confirm correct species-level classification.

Atlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus) and Pacific halibut (Hippoglossus stenolepis) are classified under different HTS subheadings. The species must be identified on entry documentation; catch certificates or certificates of origin from the exporting country are typically used to substantiate the species declaration to CBP.
Because Atlantic halibut stocks in the Northwest Atlantic have historically been at low levels, many retail and foodservice buyers require Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certification or equivalent third-party verification, along with catch area documentation (e.g., FAO area codes). These are commercial requirements rather than US Customs mandates, but failure to provide them can result in buyer rejection.
