U.S. imports of cod, salted or in brine (not dried or smoked) (HS 030562) totaled $0 in April 2026, traded with 1 country.

Last updated: April 2026 data

Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua), Greenland cod (Gadus ogac), and Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus) preserved by salting or brining — but not dried or smoked — occupy a distinct niche from the more familiar dried salt cod (bacalao) trade. The US schedule distinguishes between standard salted cod (0305620000) and product with moisture content exceeding 50% (0305620050), a specification split that affects both classification and shelf-life expectations. Canada is the leading supplier, with South Korea also a notable source. All imported salted fish products require FDA review prior to entry, and importers should verify that foreign processing establishments hold current FDA registration.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the moisture-content threshold affect classification of salted cod under this heading?

The US tariff schedule splits salted cod into two 10-digit lines: 0305620000 covers standard salted or brined cod, while 0305620050 applies specifically to cod with moisture content greater than 50% that is salted but not dried or smoked. Importers should verify moisture levels at the time of export to ensure correct classification, as misclassification can trigger liquidation adjustments.

What distinguishes salted-but-not-dried cod from dried salt cod for trade purposes?

Salted-but-not-dried cod retains significantly higher moisture and is classified under heading 0305.62, whereas dried or dried-and-salted cod falls under a separate HS heading. The distinction matters for duty rates, cold-chain requirements, and shelf stability — wet-salted product typically requires refrigerated transport, while dried salt cod is shelf-stable.
