Cusk (Brosme brosme), a deepwater gadiform fish of the North Atlantic, enters US trade in frozen whole or dressed form under this line — distinct from fillet presentations classified elsewhere. As a relatively low-volume specialty species, it is primarily of interest to processors and foodservice buyers sourcing alternative whitefish. All imported frozen fish of this type are subject to FDA admissibility review at the port of entry. Importers should confirm species identification documentation, as misclassification between cusk and similar gadoids can trigger reclassification disputes.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Frozen cusk in whole, gutted, or dressed form (head-on or head-off) falls under 0303890010, while frozen cusk fillets are classified under a separate HTS heading for frozen fish fillets. The key distinction is whether the flesh has been separated from the bone into fillet form.
Importers must file an FDA Prior Notice for all imported fish, provide a commercial invoice with species identification, and comply with NOAA seafood import monitoring requirements if the species is covered under the Seafood Import Monitoring Program. Country-of-origin labeling (COOL) requirements also apply at retail.
