Fresh or Chilled Cod

The US schedule provides a dedicated line (0302510010) for Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) and a separate NESOI line (0302510090) for other Gadus species such as Pacific cod. This distinction matters because Atlantic and Pacific cod originate from different fisheries with different quota regimes and market pricing, and accurate species identification on entry documents ensures correct classification.

Fresh cod from Iceland and Norway requires FDA Prior Notice submission before arrival, a commercial invoice with species name, country of origin, and net weight, and may be subject to FDA examination at the port of entry. Neither Iceland nor Norway has a US free trade agreement, so MFN duty rates apply. Consult a licensed customs broker for current entry and admissibility requirements.
