Last updated: July 2026 dataIceland leads US supply under this heading, which covers non-fillet, non-steak fresh and chilled meat from a broad group of commercially important groundfish families — including Gadidae (cod, haddock, pollock), Merlucciidae (hake), and Macrouridae (grenadier), among others. The US schedule carves out dedicated 10-digit lines for Atlantic cod (0304530010) and haddock (0304530020), with 0304530090 serving as the residual for remaining species and families. Cuts such as cheeks, tongues, collars, and dressed carcasses are the primary forms classified here rather than under the fillet provisions. All shipments require USDA FSIS reinspection from an approved foreign establishment before release into US commerce.

The heading encompasses eight families: Bregmacerotidae, Euclichthyidae, Gadidae, Macrouridae, Melanonidae, Merlucciidae, Moridae, and Muraenolepididae. This means species such as hake (Merlucciidae), grenadier or rattail fish (Macrouridae), and various morid cods are all within scope, provided they are presented in non-fillet, non-steak form and shipped fresh or chilled.
Cheeks, tongues, collars, roe, livers, and whole or dressed carcasses that have not been cut into fillets or steaks fall under this heading. The distinction from fillet lines is based on the physical form of the product — a cut that retains bone structure or is not a separated muscle block is generally not a fillet for HTS purposes.
Iceland's dominance in fresh groundfish supply reflects its proximity, cold-chain infrastructure, and quota access to North Atlantic stocks. However, Icelandic quota allocations and seasonal fishing patterns can create supply gaps, and buyers may need to qualify alternative sources — such as Turkey or the Netherlands — to maintain consistent volume, particularly for foodservice contracts requiring year-round supply.
