Last updated: April 2026 dataAtlantic herring (Clupea harengus) and Pacific herring, shipped whole or dressed but excluding fillets, livers, and roes, enter the US under a single tariff line (0302410000). Estonia leads US supply, with Canada and Norway also significant sources — a supplier mix that reflects the North Atlantic and Baltic herring fisheries. The species is a key input for bait, food-service, and roe-extraction markets, and cold-chain integrity is critical given the short shelf life of fresh pelagic fish. FDA review applies at the port of entry, and importers should confirm that Canadian shipments comply with USMCA rules of origin where applicable.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes. Atlantic herring harvests in the North Atlantic and Baltic are highly seasonal, with peak landings typically in late summer and autumn. Importers sourcing from Estonia or Norway should anticipate tighter availability and higher prices outside peak season, and may need to coordinate cold-chain logistics carefully to maintain product quality during transit.
Whole and dressed fresh herring (excluding fillets, livers, and roes) fall under 0302410000. Herring fillets are classified under HTS Chapter 03 headings for fresh fish fillets, while herring roe has its own separate classification. Misclassifying roe-bearing fish or pre-cut product can result in entry delays and potential penalties.
