U.S. exports of fresh or chilled cod (whole/dressed, excluding fillets, livers & roes) (HS 0302510000) totaled $118K in June 2026, traded with 3 countries.
Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua), Greenland cod (Gadus ogac), and Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus) enter the US in whole or dressed form under this 10-digit line, which predates a subsequent split into species-specific subheadings. The exclusion of fillets, livers, and roes is classification-critical: headed-and-gutted fish presented in this form belong here, while boneless portions shift to heading 0304. Cold-chain integrity and species identification documentation are both scrutinized at entry, as the three Gadus species carry distinct commercial values and quota considerations in source fisheries. FDA oversight applies to all imported seafood under the mandatory HACCP seafood program.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Headed-and-gutted (H&G) cod that has not been further processed into boneless portions or fillets classifies here. Once the fish is cut into fillets or separated fish meat, it moves to heading 0304. The key test is whether the product retains its whole-fish skeletal structure.
Importers must file a Prior Notice with FDA before arrival and ensure the foreign processor operates under a HACCP seafood safety plan. The shipment is subject to FDA examination and may be detained if the establishment is not in good standing. Species identification (to the Gadus species level) should be supported by catch certificates or supplier documentation.
