Last updated: July 2026 dataAtlantic cod (0302510010) and other cod species (0302510090) enter under heading 030251, covering whole and dressed fish shipped fresh or chilled — a form that commands premium pricing in foodservice and retail compared to frozen product. Canada is the dominant supplier, with Iceland and Norway also significant sources from North Atlantic fisheries. All fresh cod imports require FDA admissibility review, and Atlantic cod is subject to NOAA SIMP harvest-documentation requirements given its status as a heavily managed species. Buyers should monitor seasonal quota closures in Canadian and Icelandic fisheries, which can create supply gaps and price volatility.

Canada is a USMCA partner, and qualifying Canadian-origin cod may be eligible for preferential duty treatment under that agreement. Importers should confirm origin documentation and rules-of-origin compliance with a licensed customs broker before claiming any preference.
Heading 030251 explicitly excludes fillets, livers, and roes — those forms fall under separate HTS chapters. Whole, gutted, headed, or dressed cod (but not filleted) belong here. Misclassifying a fillet as a whole-fish entry is a common error that can trigger CBP scrutiny.
