U.S. imports of frozen cod fillets (HS 030471) totaled $25.2M in April 2026, traded with 19 countries.
Gadus morhua (Atlantic cod), Gadus ogac (Greenland cod), and Gadus macrocephalus (Pacific cod) fillets are among the most widely traded frozen whitefish products globally, serving retail, food-service, and further-processing markets. The US tariff schedule distinguishes between skinned fillets in frozen blocks exceeding 4.5 kg destined for mincing or further processing (0304711000) and other frozen cod fillets (0304715000), a split that affects duty treatment and is critical for importers supplying fish-stick or surimi manufacturers. China and Iceland are the leading suppliers, with China processing cod caught in North Atlantic and North Pacific waters before re-exporting to the US. All shipments require FDA HACCP compliance and prior notice filing.

The US schedule separates skinned cod fillets presented in frozen blocks greater than 4.5 kg that are intended for mincing, grinding, or further processing (0304711000) from other frozen cod fillets (0304715000). The block-format line typically carries a different duty rate and is used by processors making fish sticks, fish cakes, or minced fish products. Importers must ensure the declared end-use and physical presentation match the claimed subheading.
China operates large-scale seafood processing facilities that import raw or headed-and-gutted cod caught by vessels in the North Atlantic and North Pacific, process it into fillets, and re-export the finished product. The country of origin for tariff purposes is determined by where substantial transformation occurs, which CBP generally considers to be the country of processing for fish fillets. Importers should document the harvest origin separately for country-of-origin labeling compliance.
