Cusk (Brosme brosme), a deepwater North Atlantic groundfish related to cod and haddock, occupies its own 10-digit tariff line reflecting its distinct commercial identity despite relatively modest trade volumes compared to other groundfish. FDA seafood HACCP regulations and Prior Notice requirements govern admissibility. Cusk has faced stock assessment concerns in parts of its range, and importers sourcing from certain North Atlantic fisheries should be aware of any applicable catch documentation or sustainability requirements from the exporting country.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The US tariff schedule enumerates cusk separately at 0304490125 because it is a commercially recognized species with its own trade identity in North Atlantic groundfish markets. Having a dedicated line allows for more precise trade statistics and ensures consistent classification rather than relying on the catch-all NESOI provision.
Cusk populations in parts of the Northwest Atlantic have been subject to conservation concern, and some jurisdictions have imposed catch restrictions. Importers should request catch certificates or fishery documentation from suppliers to confirm legal harvest origin, and should monitor any changes in export licensing requirements from the source country.
