Last updated: April 2026 dataFrozen whole herrings — Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) and Pacific herring (Clupea pallasii) — serve dual commercial roles as a direct food product and as a high-volume input for fishmeal, fish oil, and aquaculture feed industries. Canada leads US imports under this heading, reflecting the shared Atlantic herring fishery in the Northwest Atlantic, with Norway and the Netherlands also significant suppliers from the Northeast Atlantic. The heading covers only whole or dressed fish; frozen herring fillets are classified separately. FDA entry review and seafood HACCP compliance apply to all imported frozen fish.

Whole and dressed frozen herrings excluding fillets fall under 030351 (HTS 0303510000), while frozen herring fillets are classified under a separate HS chapter 03 heading for fish fillets. Importers must ensure the product form on the commercial invoice matches the declared HTS code, as the distinction affects applicable duty rates.
Frozen whole herring enters the US both for direct human consumption — particularly in ethnic food markets and food service — and as raw material for reduction into fishmeal and fish oil used in aquaculture and animal feed. The end-use destination can affect how the product is handled at entry and whether any additional FDA or USDA oversight applies downstream.
