Last updated: April 2026 dataThe single US tariff line (0303660000) under this heading consolidates both whiting and hake species — a grouping that spans multiple genera (Merluccius, Urophycis, and others) and can create classification edge cases when species documentation is incomplete. Argentina is the leading supplier, reflecting the importance of Patagonian hake (Merluccius hubbsi) in South American export fisheries, with Mexico and Spain also significant sources. Importers should be aware that some hake species are subject to NOAA SIMP traceability requirements, and FDA admissibility review applies to all shipments.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes — at the 10-digit level, 0303660000 covers both whiting and hake in frozen whole or dressed form (excluding fillets, livers, and roes) without further species subdivision. However, accurate species identification on commercial documentation remains important for NOAA SIMP compliance and for any applicable fishery certification requirements.
Beyond standard FDA entry requirements, importers should verify whether the specific hake species and fishing area trigger NOAA SIMP harvest-event reporting. Argentina's hake fisheries may also carry Marine Stewardship Council or other eco-certifications that buyers require commercially, though these do not affect US customs classification.
