U.S. exports of Halibut Fillets, Frozen (HS 0304835005) totaled $240K in August 2026, exported to 7 countries.
Last updated: August 2026 dataFrozen halibut fillets classified under HTS 0304835005 cover retail- and foodservice-ready cuts of Atlantic or Pacific halibut that do not meet the industrial frozen-block-for-processing specifications of the 0304831025 line. Halibut commands premium pricing in the frozen seafood market due to its mild flavor, firm texture, and versatility across foodservice applications. Pacific halibut availability is shaped by annual IPHC quota allocations, creating seasonal supply patterns that importers and distributors must plan around. FDA seafood HACCP requirements apply at entry, and accurate species labeling is required for both customs and consumer-facing compliance.

The key distinctions are format and end-use: 0304831025 requires skinned blocks over 4.5 kg imported specifically for mincing, grinding, or uniform portioning, while 0304835005 covers frozen halibut fillets in other forms — including individually frozen retail portions — without the processing-intent restriction.
No. Greenland halibut (Reinhardtius hippoglossoides) has its own dedicated line at 0304835010. The 0304835005 provision is reserved for true halibut species (Hippoglossus hippoglossus and Hippoglossus stenolepis). Misidentifying Greenland halibut as halibut on entry documents is a common classification error that can result in CBP penalties.
