Frozen fillets of Reinhardtius hippoglossoides — sold commercially as Greenland turbot or Greenland halibut — are classified under HTS 0304835010 when they do not meet the industrial frozen-block-for-processing criteria of 0304831010. The species is a deep-water flatfish harvested primarily in the North Atlantic and Arctic, with Greenland and Iceland among the principal source regions. Its high fat content and distinctive flavor profile differentiate it from true halibut in both culinary use and trade classification. FDA seafood HACCP requirements and acceptable market-name rules apply; importers should ensure invoices use the recognized trade name to avoid labeling issues at entry.

Despite sharing the common name 'halibut,' Reinhardtius hippoglossoides is a distinct species with different biological characteristics and trade patterns. The HTS separates it to allow precise tracking of trade flows and to prevent misclassification between the higher-value true halibut species and Greenland turbot, which typically trades at different price points.
Commercial invoices citing the scientific name Reinhardtius hippoglossoides, catch certificates referencing the harvest area (typically NAFO or ICES zones in the North Atlantic), and supplier declarations are the primary documents. For shipments from certified fisheries, MSC chain-of-custody certificates can also support species verification.
