Greenland turbot (Reinhardtius hippoglossoides), also known as Greenland halibut or black halibut, is a deep-water North Atlantic and North Pacific flatfish classified under HTS 0304590055 when entered as non-fillet meat, fresh or chilled. The species' dual common names — Greenland turbot and Greenland halibut — can create invoice ambiguity, and the scientific name Reinhardtius hippoglossoides should appear on documentation to ensure correct classification distinct from Atlantic halibut or Pacific halibut lines. This species supports significant commercial fisheries in Canada, Greenland, and Iceland, and is valued in both food-service and retail channels for its rich, fatty flesh. FDA HACCP requirements govern all imported fresh fishery products of this type.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Greenland turbot (Reinhardtius hippoglossoides) is marketed under multiple common names including Greenland halibut and black halibut, which overlap with names used for true halibut species (Hippoglossus spp.) classified under different tariff lines. Using the scientific name on the commercial invoice prevents misclassification and potential CBP queries or delays at entry.
Commercial fisheries for Greenland turbot are concentrated in the Northwest Atlantic (Canada, Greenland) and the North Pacific. Canada is a leading supplier to the US market given geographic proximity and established cold-chain infrastructure. Greenland and Iceland are also significant sources for Atlantic-origin product.
