Last updated: August 2026 dataFrozen meat from the cod-family complex — spanning Gadidae (cod, haddock, pollock), Merlucciidae (hake), Macrouridae (grenadier), and five additional families — is a widely traded commodity underpinning the global whitefish processing industry. The US schedule at HS 030495 subdivides by species (cod, haddock, Atlantic pollock), form (minced vs. not minced), and container size (bulk packs over 6.8 kg vs. smaller), creating seven distinct 10-digit lines. Iceland leads supply under this heading, reflecting its dominant position in North Atlantic cod and haddock fisheries, with Canada and Indonesia also significant sources. All seafood imports require FDA prior notice; consult a licensed customs broker or FDA-registered importer of record for admissibility requirements.

HS 030495 covers frozen meat (non-fillet) from eight cod-related families: Bregmacerotidae, Euclichthyidae, Gadidae, Macrouridae, Melanonidae, Merlucciidae, Moridae, and Muraenolepididae. This includes Atlantic cod, haddock, hake, and Atlantic pollock. Alaska pollock (Theragra chalcogramma / Gadus chalcogrammus) is carved out into its own heading, 030494, reflecting its commercial volume and distinct supply chain.
Iceland's position as the leading supplier reflects its large, well-managed North Atlantic cod and haddock quotas, advanced at-sea and onshore freezing infrastructure, and long-standing trade relationships with US whitefish processors. Icelandic frozen cod and haddock blocks are a benchmark input for the US fish-and-chips and frozen entrée industries, and the country's consistent quality standards reinforce its market position.
