U.S. exports of fresh or chilled lingcod (ophiodon elongatus) — excluding fillets, livers & roes (HS 0302893020) totaled $26K in February 2025, traded with 1 country.
Lingcod (Ophiodon elongatus) is a Pacific coast predator species — not a true cod — that is specifically enumerated in the US tariff schedule, reflecting its distinct commercial identity in West Coast seafood markets. Entered fresh or chilled in whole or dressed form, it is classified here when fillets, livers, and roes are excluded. Domestic US harvest from the Pacific coast is the primary supply source, making imports under this line uncommon, though Canadian-origin fish does enter the market. FDA seafood HACCP and prior notice requirements apply to all imported fresh fish, and the species-specific scientific name (Ophiodon elongatus) should appear on commercial documentation to support classification.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The US HTS enumerates lingcod by its scientific name (Ophiodon elongatus) to enable precise trade monitoring of this commercially distinct Pacific species. The specific provision takes precedence over any NESOI line, so importers must confirm species identity on entry documents to use this code correctly.
Yes — if the fish has been processed into fillets or fish meat as defined under heading 0304, it would be classified there rather than here. Whole, gutted, headed, or dressed lingcod that retains its bone structure generally remains under this line, but any presentation approaching a fillet should be reviewed carefully against the 0304 definitions.
