U.S. imports of fresh or chilled cobia, nesoi (excluding fillets, livers & roes) (HS 0302465000) totaled $3K in June 2026, traded with 5 countries.
Fresh or Chilled Cobia, NESOI (Excluding Fillets, Livers & Roes) imports of $3K in June 2026 ran 97% below the year-to-date monthly average of $105K.
Bulk, unscaled, or larger-pack fresh cobia that does not meet the scaled small-container criteria falls to this NESOI line, making it the primary classification for foodservice and processing-grade whole cobia shipments. Cobia's firm white flesh and rapid aquaculture growth cycle have made it a rising species in premium seafood channels, and importers sourcing from tropical aquaculture operations should confirm that the exporting facility holds FDA approval. The explicit exclusion of heading 0304 fish meat means portioned cobia cuts must be reclassified accordingly. Consult a licensed customs broker or FDA-registered agent to confirm admissibility and correct classification before entry.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Each presentation must be classified separately. Scaled cobia in immediate containers at or below 6.8 kg gross weight goes to 0302461100, while bulk or unscaled fish — or fish in larger containers — is classified under 0302465000. Mixing them on a single entry line would be incorrect; the commercial invoice should itemize each pack type.
Trade-remedy measures (antidumping or countervailing duties) are product- and country-specific and are not currently in place for cobia as a category, but importers should monitor USITC and Commerce Department proceedings for any future actions, particularly as aquaculture volumes from specific origins grow. A licensed customs broker can advise on current status.
