Last updated: August 2026 dataDried cod — including the traditional stockfish (unsalted) and klippfisk (salted) forms — is one of the oldest internationally traded preserved seafood commodities and enters the US under a single tariff line (0305510000). Norway dominates supply to the US market, a position rooted in centuries of North Atlantic cod fishing and drying traditions; Canada, Portugal, Latvia, and Iceland are also suppliers. Importers should note that this heading explicitly excludes smoked cod, which is classified under heading 030549, making the absence of a smoking step a critical classification criterion. FDA admissibility review and seafood HACCP compliance are required.

Heading 030551 covers whole or otherwise non-filleted dried cod (whether or not salted), while heading 030532 specifically covers cod in fillet form that is dried, salted, or in brine. If the cod has been cut into fillets before drying or salting, it belongs under 030532 (line 0305320010); if it is dried as a whole fish, split, or in non-fillet form, it is classified under 030551. The physical presentation — fillet versus non-fillet — is the primary distinction.
No. Dried cod that has been partially rehydrated or soaked as part of normal pre-shipment handling generally retains its classification under 030551, provided it has not been further processed into a prepared or preserved product (which would shift it to Chapter 16). The key classification criterion is the state of the product as presented for importation. Importers uncertain about borderline cases should seek a binding ruling from US Customs and Border Protection.
