U.S. imports of frozen minced cod meat, bulk containers over 6.8 kg (HS 0304951010) totaled $28K in August 2026, imported from 3 countries.
Frozen Minced Cod Meat, Bulk Containers Over 6.8 kg imports of $28K in August 2026 ran 58% below the year-to-date monthly average of $67K.
Last updated: August 2026 dataMinced Atlantic cod meat, frozen and packed in bulk or immediate containers exceeding 6.8 kg filled weight, is a primary industrial input for breaded fish products, fish cakes, and seafood analog manufacturing. The container-weight threshold mirrors the structure used across the 030495 heading and is the key classification pivot: minced cod in retail-sized packs exits this line. Iceland and Canada are the dominant sources of frozen cod in North American trade, and cold-chain integrity from vessel to processing plant is a critical quality-control concern for buyers. FDA prior notice and HACCP documentation are required at US entry.

Both lines require bulk or container packs over 6.8 kg, but 0304951010 is specifically for minced cod — mechanically separated or ground — while 0304951020 covers non-minced (whole-muscle) cod meat in the same pack size. The distinction is the physical form of the fish meat, not the species or container weight, and should be supported by a product specification sheet from the foreign processor.
Yes. North Atlantic cod quotas in Iceland, Norway, and Canada are set annually and can shift significantly based on stock assessments, affecting the volume and pricing of frozen cod available for export. Importers sourcing large volumes of minced cod for processing contracts should monitor quota announcements from ICES (International Council for the Exploration of the Sea) and coordinate with suppliers on forward booking, particularly for Q1 and Q2 when North Atlantic fishing seasons peak.
