Last updated: August 2026 dataHaddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus) is a prized North Atlantic groundfish closely associated with traditional smoked and fresh preparations in both the US and UK markets. Entering in whole or dressed form under this line, it is distinct from haddock fillets, which classify under heading 0304, and from smoked haddock, which falls in chapter 03's preserved-fish provisions. The species is managed under strict quota regimes in the Northwest Atlantic, meaning seasonal supply constraints and stock-assessment cycles in source fisheries can create significant price volatility for US importers. FDA's seafood HACCP program governs admissibility, and Prior Notice is required before arrival.

Haddock stocks in the Northwest Atlantic are subject to annual total allowable catch (TAC) limits set by regional fisheries management bodies. When quotas tighten mid-season, export availability drops sharply, so US importers often need to secure forward purchase agreements early in the fishing year to ensure consistent supply of fresh product.
Fresh or chilled whole haddock that has not been smoked, salted, dried, or otherwise preserved classifies here. Smoked haddock — including the traditional 'finnan haddie' style — moves to heading 0305, which covers fish that have been preserved or prepared by smoking, salting, or drying. The preservation method is the controlling distinction.
