Last updated: April 2026 dataAtlantic cod (Gadus morhua) and other cod species, shipped fresh or chilled in whole or dressed form, are classified under heading 030251, with the US schedule distinguishing Atlantic cod (0302510010) from other cod species (0302510090) alongside a general line (0302510000). Canada is the dominant US supplier, with Iceland and Norway also major sources — a concentration in North Atlantic fisheries that reflects both geographic proximity and longstanding commercial relationships. Cod stocks in the Northwest Atlantic remain under strict quota management by NAFO, making supply availability sensitive to annual quota allocations. FDA review applies at entry, and importers sourcing from Canada may benefit from USMCA treatment.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) is classified under 0302510010, while Pacific cod (G. macrocephalus) and other cod species fall under the NESOI line 0302510090. The distinction matters because Atlantic and Pacific cod originate from different fisheries with separate quota regimes (NAFO vs. North Pacific councils), and species identity affects both regulatory documentation and market pricing.
NAFO sets annual total allowable catches for Atlantic cod in the Northwest Atlantic, and quota reductions — which have occurred repeatedly due to stock assessments — can sharply curtail Canadian export volumes mid-season. Importers relying on fresh (not frozen) cod face particular exposure because the short shelf life limits the ability to stockpile inventory. Diversifying sourcing between Canadian, Icelandic, and Norwegian origins can help manage this supply-chain risk.
