Farmed Chinook salmon — aquaculture-raised King salmon shipped fresh or chilled in whole or dressed form — is classified at HTS 0302130013, a line that separates aquaculture product from its wild-caught counterpart. Farmed Chinook is produced in relatively small volumes compared to Atlantic salmon aquaculture, but it occupies a high-value niche in premium foodservice channels. FDA Seafood HACCP requirements govern entry, and importers should maintain aquaculture facility records to substantiate the farmed designation, as misclassification between farmed and wild lines can trigger penalty exposure.

The farmed/wild split at the 10-digit level reflects both trade-policy and statistical tracking interests. Aquaculture product and wild-caught product can have different duty treatment and are tracked separately for fisheries management and trade-remedy purposes. Importers must be prepared to document production method — typically via an aquaculture certificate from the exporting facility — to support the farmed classification.
Retain the foreign aquaculture facility's registration or certification, the commercial invoice specifying 'farmed' or 'aquaculture-raised,' any veterinary health certificates, and the FDA Prior Notice submission. These records collectively demonstrate that the fish was raised in a controlled aquaculture environment rather than wild-harvested, which is the key classification criterion for 0302130013.
