Last updated: July 2026 dataAtlantic and Pacific cod fillets (Gadus morhua, Gadus ogac, and Gadus macrocephalus) are a cornerstone of the frozen whitefish trade, supplying the US food-service, retail, and further-processing sectors. The US schedule subdivides this heading into three 10-digit lines: 0304710000, a general line; 0304711000, covering skinned frozen blocks over 4.5 kg destined for mincing or uniform-cut processing; and 0304715000, specifying the named Gadus species. China and Iceland are the leading suppliers, with China processing significant volumes of Icelandic and other North Atlantic raw material before re-export. FDA admissibility review applies to all imported fish fillets; importers should ensure foreign processors hold current FDA facility registrations.

Line 0304711000 is a processing-use provision covering skinned cod fillets in frozen blocks weighing over 4.5 kg each, imported specifically to be minced, ground, or cut into uniform pieces — typically for further-processed products like fish sticks or portions. Line 0304715000 covers frozen cod fillets of the named Gadus species for general use. Misclassifying a bulk industrial block under the retail-fillet line can trigger a classification dispute at entry.
China is a major re-processing hub: raw or semi-processed cod caught in the North Atlantic or North Pacific is shipped to China for filleting, skinning, and freezing, then re-exported to the US. This means country-of-origin for tariff purposes is China, but the fish itself may originate from Icelandic, Norwegian, or Russian fisheries. Buyers concerned about supply-chain traceability should request catch certificates and chain-of-custody documentation.
