Frozen Cod (Gadus Species)

The US schedule under heading 030363 provides a dedicated line for Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) at 0303630010, while Pacific cod (G. macrocephalus) and Greenland cod (G. ogac) fall under the NESOI line 0303630090. Importers must specify the correct scientific species name on the commercial invoice to ensure the shipment is entered under the right 10-digit line and to avoid reclassification at the port of entry.

Greenland is an autonomous territory of Denmark but is not part of the European Union customs territory, so EU trade-agreement treatment does not automatically apply. Importers should ensure that certificates of origin correctly identify Greenland as the country of origin and that FDA prior notice and HACCP documentation from the Greenlandic processing establishment are in order. Consulting a licensed customs broker familiar with Danish/Greenlandic origin rules is advisable.
