Importers of Frozen Halibut and Greenland Turbot (Whole, Excluding Fillets, Livers & Roes) paid $6K in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 0.9% on $685K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.

Last updated: July 2026 dataAtlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus), Pacific halibut (Hippoglossus stenolepis), and Greenland turbot (Reinhardtius hippoglossoides) frozen in whole or dressed form are separated into four US tariff lines — 0303310010 (Atlantic halibut), 0303310015 (combined Atlantic and Pacific), 0303310020 (Pacific halibut), and 0303310030 (Greenland turbot) — reflecting meaningful commercial and regulatory distinctions between species. Canada dominates US supply, particularly for Pacific halibut, while Greenland and Norway are primary sources for Greenland turbot. Pacific halibut is managed under the International Pacific Halibut Commission (IPHC) quota system, and catch documentation is a standard part of the import record. FDA seafood HACCP requirements apply, and the exclusion of fillets from this heading means product form must be confirmed before classification.

The four lines distinguish Atlantic halibut (0303310010), a combined Atlantic-and-Pacific line (0303310015), Pacific halibut (0303310020), and Greenland turbot (0303310030). Species identification on the commercial invoice and entry documentation must align with the claimed tariff line. Greenland turbot, sometimes marketed as 'Greenland halibut,' is a distinct species and must be classified under 0303310030 rather than either halibut line — a common misclassification risk.
The International Pacific Halibut Commission sets annual catch limits for Pacific halibut in the North Pacific, with the fishing season typically running from March through November. Frozen product availability peaks after the main harvest season as processors work through inventory. When IPHC quotas are reduced — as has occurred in recent years due to stock assessments — frozen supply tightens and prices rise, making early-season procurement contracts valuable for buyers with year-round demand.
