Cobia (Rachycentron canadum) is a fast-growing pelagic species increasingly important in both wild-capture and aquaculture supply chains, and this line captures scaled whole or dressed fish in retail-sized immediate containers at or below 6.8 kg gross weight. The species is farmed in several tropical and subtropical regions, making origin documentation relevant for both FDA admissibility and potential trade-remedy exposure depending on the source country. As with other fresh fish, HACCP documentation from an approved establishment is required. Importers should verify container weight declarations carefully and consult a licensed customs broker, as classification hinges on both species identity and packaging specifications.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes — the tariff line does not distinguish between aquaculture and wild-capture origin. Both farmed and wild-caught cobia that are scaled and packed in immediate containers at or below 6.8 kg gross weight are classified under 0302461100, provided they are fresh or chilled and not fillets, livers, or roes.
Importers must ensure the foreign establishment is registered with FDA and that the shipment is covered by seafood HACCP records. FDA may conduct admissibility review at the port of entry, and prior notice of food shipment is required. Working with a licensed customs broker or FDA-registered import agent is advisable to confirm current requirements.
