Last updated: April 2026 dataDried, salted, and brined octopus serves distinct culinary markets — dried product is central to East Asian and Mediterranean cuisines, while brined forms supply specialty food processors. Spain leads US imports under this heading, reflecting its role as both a producer and a processor of octopus from Atlantic and Mediterranean fisheries. The US schedule under 030759 contains a single children line (0307590100) covering dried, salted, or in-brine octopus, distinct from the frozen octopus subheading, so importers must confirm preservation method at the time of entry. FDA admissibility review applies; importers should verify that foreign processors maintain current HACCP compliance and are not subject to active FDA import alerts.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes. The line 0307590100 covers octopus that is dried, salted, or in brine, and a product that is both dried and salted would still be classified here. The key distinction is that this line excludes frozen octopus (classified under 030752) and live, fresh, or chilled octopus (classified under 030751). The preservation method declared on the commercial invoice should match the physical condition of the goods at time of importation.
As of current schedules, dried and salted octopus is not broadly subject to Section 301 or antidumping measures in the way that some other seafood categories are, but importers should check the most current CBP and USTR guidance for any applicable trade remedies, particularly for product originating in China or other countries subject to active Section 301 lists. A licensed customs broker can confirm current duty treatment for specific origin-product combinations.
