Last updated: August 2026 dataAtlantic halibut, Pacific halibut, and Greenland halibut (also marketed as Greenland turbot or turbot) each occupy a distinct 10-digit line under this heading — 0302210010, 0302210020, and 0302210090 respectively — making species-level identification a classification requirement, not merely a labeling one. Canada dominates US supply for Pacific and Atlantic halibut given shared North Pacific and North Atlantic fisheries, while Norway contributes meaningfully to Greenland halibut volumes. Pacific halibut harvest is managed under the International Pacific Halibut Commission quota system, which can create seasonal supply constraints that affect import timing and pricing. FDA prior notice is required for all fresh fish entries.

The three species are classified at separate 10-digit lines: Atlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus) at 0302210010, Pacific halibut (Hippoglossus stenolepis) at 0302210020, and Greenland halibut/turbot (Reinhardtius hippoglossoides) at 0302210090. Commercial invoices and catch certificates should specify the scientific name and catch area to support the correct classification.
Yes. The International Pacific Halibut Commission sets annual catch limits for both US and Canadian fleets in the North Pacific. When Canadian quota is constrained or the season is short, fresh Pacific halibut availability for US importers tightens, often shifting buyers toward frozen product or alternative flatfish species.
