U.S. exports of Fresh or Chilled Hake (Whole/Dressed, Excluding Fillets, Livers & Roes) (HS 0302540000) totaled $116K in August 2026, exported to 4 countries.
Last updated: August 2026 dataHake is a broad commercial category covering multiple Merluccius and Urophycis species, and this line captures fresh or chilled whole or dressed product before a subsequent NESOI split. The genus Merluccius dominates global hake trade, with South American and European fisheries supplying the bulk of internationally traded volume. Classification precision matters here because hake fillets belong in heading 0304, and certain processed hake preparations (salted, dried) move to heading 0305. FDA's mandatory seafood HACCP program and Prior Notice requirements apply to all hake imports entering the US.

The most commercially significant species in international trade include Merluccius merluccius (European hake), Merluccius hubbsi (Argentine hake), and Merluccius productus (Pacific hake). The HTS lines do not distinguish by species within the hake category, but FDA labeling rules require accurate species identification on commercial documents.
The relationship between 0302540000 and 0302545000 reflects a structural split in the US tariff schedule. Importers should verify with a licensed customs broker which specific line applies to their product, as the operative distinction may relate to species or other criteria defined in the tariff schedule notes. Using the wrong line can result in liquidation adjustments.
