Last updated: April 2026 dataBody-oil fractions from fish — excluding liver oils — serve as key inputs for aquaculture feed, omega-3 concentrate production, and industrial applications, and the US schedule enumerates specific species lines including cod (1504202000), herring (1504204000), and menhaden (1504206020), with residual lines for other species. Vietnam and Peru lead US import supply under this heading, with Norway, Canada, and Iceland also significant — a supplier mix that spans both tropical aquaculture-byproduct streams and traditional North Atlantic pelagic fisheries. Menhaden oil is notable as a domestically harvested species as well, making the import lines relevant primarily for specialty or volume-gap sourcing. FDA oversight applies to fish oils entering for human food or supplement use.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Menhaden (1504206020) is enumerated separately because it is a commercially significant species in US domestic fisheries and has historically been subject to specific trade-policy attention. Having a dedicated line allows CBP and trade analysts to track import volumes of menhaden oil distinctly from other species, which matters for domestic industry monitoring and any potential trade-remedy petitions.
The commercial invoice and, where available, a certificate of origin or species declaration from the exporter should identify the fish species from which the oil was extracted. For blended oils from multiple species, classification typically falls to the residual 'NESOI' line (1504206040 or 1504207000). A binding ruling from CBP is advisable for mixed-species products where the correct line is uncertain.
