Last updated: January 2026 data

Spiny dogfish and other members of the genus Squalus are classified here when shipped fresh or chilled in whole or dressed form, distinct from shark species covered by the companion line 0302810091. Dogfish is commercially harvested in the North Atlantic and Northeast Pacific and sold into both food markets — particularly in the UK and Germany as 'rock salmon' — and the fishmeal and liver-oil industries. Fins separated from the carcass are subject to shark-finning regulations under the Shark Conservation Act, which requires that sharks be landed with fins naturally attached, a compliance point that affects how dogfish are processed at sea before export to the US.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Shark Conservation Act affect imports of fresh dogfish under 0302810011?

The Shark Conservation Act requires that sharks, including dogfish, be landed with fins naturally attached to the carcass. Shipments where fins have been removed at sea prior to landing may be denied entry. Importers should verify that foreign suppliers comply with fins-attached landing requirements and obtain supporting documentation from the vessel or processing facility.

What is the commercial distinction between dogfish classified here and other sharks under 0302810091?

HTS 0302810011 is species-specific to Squalus spp. (spiny dogfish and close relatives), while 0302810091 covers all other fresh or chilled sharks excluding dogfish. The split matters because dogfish populations in the Northwest Atlantic are managed under a distinct NOAA fishery management plan, and some foreign dogfish fisheries carry Marine Stewardship Council certification that buyers may require.
