Last updated: August 2026 dataAtlantic ocean perch (Sebastes fasciatus / S. mentella), also traded as redfish or rosefish, is a deepwater species harvested primarily in the Northwest Atlantic, and its fillets enter under a dedicated HTS line reflecting its commercial importance in the US seafood trade. FDA HACCP-based seafood safety requirements apply at import, and catch documentation from North Atlantic fisheries management bodies may accompany shipments. The species' slow growth rate and historical stock fluctuations make supply availability a recurring concern for buyers seeking consistent fresh-chilled volume.

Yes — Atlantic ocean perch (Sebastes spp.) is commonly marketed and invoiced as redfish or rosefish in European and Canadian trade. Importers should ensure that commercial invoices and FDA Prior Notice filings use consistent species identification, as CBP may query discrepancies between common trade names and the declared HTS line 0304490120.
While sustainability certifications such as MSC do not directly affect US customs classification or duty rates, major US retail and foodservice buyers increasingly require them for North Atlantic groundfish including ocean perch. Importers should confirm certification status with suppliers, as it can influence contract eligibility independent of the tariff treatment.
