HTS 0302130014 isolates wild-caught (non-farmed) Chinook salmon in fresh or chilled whole or dressed form, distinguishing it from the parallel farmed line. Wild King salmon is among the most prized seafood commodities in US premium markets, with supply tightly linked to Pacific fishery seasons and annual quota allocations set by bodies such as the Pacific Fishery Management Council. FDA Seafood HACCP compliance is required at entry, and catch documentation — including vessel, fishing area, and harvest date — is increasingly expected to satisfy both customs and seafood-traceability program requirements.

Wild Chinook salmon runs are concentrated in spring through early fall, with specific openings varying by river system and ocean fishery. Importers sourcing under 0302130014 must align logistics with fishery opening dates, as supply windows can be narrow and cold-chain transit times from Pacific fisheries are tight for fresh (non-frozen) product. Off-season, the market typically shifts to frozen product classified under a different heading.
Beyond standard FDA Prior Notice and HACCP compliance records, importers should obtain a catch certificate identifying the harvest vessel, flag state, fishing area (e.g., ICES or FAO zone), and species. The US Seafood Import Monitoring Program (SIMP) administered by NOAA requires harvest event data for certain priority species, and Chinook salmon is among the species subject to SIMP reporting. Classification admissibility is complex; consult a licensed customs broker or the relevant agency.
