U.S. exports of fresh or chilled catfish (whole & dressed) (HS 030272) totaled $5K in June 2026, traded with 2 countries.
Imported catfish entering the US under this heading faces a uniquely layered regulatory environment: USDA FSIS assumed mandatory inspection authority over catfish (Siluriformes) in 2016, meaning shipments must originate from FSIS-approved foreign establishments and are subject to reinspection at the port of entry — a requirement that distinguishes catfish from most other imported seafood, which falls under FDA jurisdiction. The single US tariff line (0302720000) covers whole and dressed fresh or chilled catfish excluding fillets, livers, and roes. Importers should confirm that their foreign supplier holds current FSIS equivalence approval before shipping.

USDA FSIS — not FDA — has mandatory inspection authority over catfish and all Siluriformes fish under the 2016 USDA catfish inspection rule. Foreign establishments must be on the FSIS-approved list, and product is reinspected at US ports of entry, mirroring the process for imported meat and poultry.
No. Tariff line 0302720000 covers whole and dressed catfish excluding fillets, livers, and roes. Fresh or chilled catfish fillets are classified separately under Chapter 3 fillet headings, and both forms remain subject to FSIS inspection requirements.
