Last updated: April 2026 dataSouth Korea leads US imports of frozen oysters, supplying primarily Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) product that moves into both retail and foodservice channels, with Mexico and Japan also significant sources. The US schedule separates farmed frozen oysters (0307120060) from other frozen oysters (0307120080), a distinction that aligns with aquaculture certification and country-of-origin labeling requirements. Frozen oysters are subject to FDA seafood HACCP regulations and must originate from facilities on the approved shellfish shipper list or an equivalent program recognized by the National Shellfish Sanitation Program. Unlike live product, frozen oysters tolerate longer transit times, enabling supply from Vietnam and China — both active in the lower-cost segment of this market.

The tariff schedule separates farmed frozen oysters (0307120060) from other frozen oysters (0307120080), and duty rates can differ between these lines. Importers should confirm the correct classification based on production method documentation from the foreign supplier, as misclassification can result in underpayment or overpayment of duties.
Frozen oysters from China may be subject to Section 301 tariffs, which apply broadly to seafood and other goods of Chinese origin. Importers should verify the current Section 301 list and any applicable exclusions before finalizing landed-cost calculations for Chinese-origin frozen oysters.
