Last updated: July 2026 dataArgentina dominates US supply of frozen hake and whiting under this heading, with Mexico and Ecuador also contributing meaningfully — a supplier concentration that makes quota timing and cold-chain logistics a recurring concern for seafood importers. The single US tariff line, 0303660000, covers whole and drawn fish of the genera Merluccius (whiting) and Urophycis (hake), explicitly excluding fillets, livers, and roes, which fall under heading 0304. FDA entry review applies to all imported seafood, and HACCP documentation from the foreign processor is required at the port of entry.

10 shipments/mo
Whole and drawn fish of Merluccius and Urophycis spp. enter under 0303660000, while fillets and other fish meat are classified under heading 0304. The distinction turns on whether the product has been separated into fillet portions; headed-and-gutted fish still classifies here.
Importers must file a Prior Notice with FDA before arrival and ensure the foreign processor operates under a HACCP plan. Shipments may be subject to FDA examination or sampling at the port of entry, and processors from certain origins may face automatic detention if prior violations exist.
