Frequently Asked Questions

What types of cod and haddock cuts are classified here rather than under the fillet headings?

This heading covers non-fillet, non-steak preparations such as cod cheeks, tongues, collars, and bone-in portions. Fillets of cod and haddock are classified under separate headings in Chapter 3. The distinction turns on whether the cut meets the customs definition of a 'fillet' — a boneless or near-boneless longitudinal slice — or constitutes another form of fish meat.

Why does Iceland feature so prominently as a supplier of fresh Gadidae meat to the US?

Iceland's large-scale North Atlantic cod and haddock fisheries, combined with well-developed processing infrastructure and relatively short transatlantic shipping times for chilled product, make it a natural leading source. Icelandic processors also have long-standing commercial relationships with US seafood distributors, particularly for specialty cuts that command premium pricing.
