Frozen Coalfish / Atlantic Pollock (Pollachius virens)

Yes — Pollachius virens is the scientific name for both coalfish (the European trade name) and Atlantic pollock (the North American trade name). Both classify under 0303650000. Importers using European supplier documentation that references 'coalfish' or 'saithe' should ensure their US entry documentation uses the HTS-consistent term or the scientific name to avoid classification questions.

Atlantic pollock (Pollachius virens) classifies under heading 030365, while Alaska pollock (Gadus chalcogrammus, formerly Theragra chalcogramma) falls under a separate heading in the frozen fish schedule. They are distinct species with different supply chains — Alaska pollock is primarily a US domestic harvest, while Atlantic pollock imports come mainly from Canada and South Korea. Mixing up the two on entry documentation is a common classification error.
