Last updated: April 2026 dataKnown commercially as coalfish or saithe in European markets and as Atlantic pollock in North America, Pollachius virens is a versatile whitefish used in both foodservice and processed seafood applications. The US tariff schedule maps this HS6 heading to a single 10-digit line (0302530000) labeled "Atlantic pollock" — a naming divergence from the HS heading title of "coalfish" that importers should note when preparing entry documentation to avoid classification disputes. Atlantic pollock is subject to NOAA fisheries management in the Northwest Atlantic, and SIMP traceability requirements apply at US entry.

The HS heading 030253 uses the international term 'coalfish' (the common name in Europe for Pollachius virens), while the US 10-digit line 0302530000 uses 'Atlantic pollock,' which is the standard commercial name in North America for the same species. Importers should ensure their commercial invoices and entry documents use the species' scientific name or the US commercial name to avoid classification ambiguity.
Atlantic pollock (Pollachius virens) falls under heading 030253, while Alaska pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) is classified under the separate heading 030255. These are biologically distinct species from different ocean basins. The scientific name on the harvest documentation is the most reliable basis for correct classification, as both are commonly called 'pollock' in trade.
