Last updated: July 2026 dataHake is split across two tariff lines under heading 030254 — 0302540000 and 0302545000 — covering whole and dressed fish shipped fresh or chilled, excluding fillets. Canada and Chile are the leading suppliers, representing both Atlantic and Pacific hake species respectively, which differ in texture and end-use suitability. Hake is a significant white-fish species in the US retail and foodservice sectors, often positioned as a value alternative to cod. FDA admissibility review applies at entry, and NOAA SIMP documentation requirements may apply depending on the specific hake species being imported.

The two tariff lines under 030254 do not split by species per se, but species identity matters for NOAA SIMP compliance and for FDA admissibility. Pacific hake (Merluccius productus) and Atlantic hake (Merluccius bilinearis) are distinct commercially, and documentation should accurately reflect the species harvested.
Chile's distance from US ports means fresh hake shipments require air freight or very fast refrigerated sea transit to maintain quality within acceptable shelf-life windows. This logistics cost is a key factor in pricing relative to closer Canadian suppliers, and buyers should confirm temperature logs are available for FDA review.
