Subheading 36 of 44 in heading 0302
Known commercially as coalfish or saithe in European markets and classified under the US tariff line 0302530000 as Atlantic pollock, this species enters fresh or chilled in whole or dressed form. Norway and Iceland are the leading suppliers, reflecting the species' concentration in Northeast Atlantic fisheries. Atlantic pollock is a cost-effective white-fish alternative to cod and haddock, widely used in foodservice applications. FDA admissibility review applies, and importers should note that the US common name 'Atlantic pollock' distinguishes this species from Alaska pollock, which is classified under a separate heading.

The US HTS uses the domestic common name 'Atlantic pollock' (Pollachius virens) for what European markets call coalfish or saithe. Importers and exporters must ensure species identification on documentation aligns with the US tariff description to avoid classification disputes at entry.
Norwegian Atlantic pollock enters as a fresh chilled fish subject to standard FDA review. Norway is not a US free-trade-agreement partner, so MFN duty rates apply. There are no current antidumping or countervailing duty orders specifically targeting Norwegian coalfish, but importers should verify current CBP guidance.
