Last updated: April 2026 dataFrozen salmon fillets span both wild-caught Pacific species and farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), the latter representing the dominant global aquaculture product. The US schedule distinguishes Pacific salmon fillets (0304810000), large skinned frozen blocks for processing (0304811000), Atlantic Salmonidae fillets (0304815010), and other Salmonidae fillets (0304815090). Chile is the leading supplier, reflecting its massive Atlantic salmon aquaculture industry, with Norway — the world's largest salmon producer — a significant secondary source. Importers should be aware that FDA prior notice is required and that country-of-origin labeling (COOL) obligations apply to salmon at retail.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes, salmon is a covered commodity under USDA's mandatory COOL regulations for retail sale. Importers and retailers must disclose the country of origin on labeling. For products processed in a third country from fish caught or farmed elsewhere, the labeling must reflect the production method (wild-caught or farm-raised) and country of origin. Foodservice exemptions apply, but retail packs require full COOL compliance.
Line 0304815010 specifically covers Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and closely related Atlantic Salmonidae species in frozen fillet form, while 0304815090 captures other Salmonidae fillets not elsewhere specified — such as certain Pacific species not covered by 0304810000. Correct species identification in supplier documentation is essential, as Atlantic salmon and Pacific salmon species carry different commercial profiles and may face different regulatory or trade-remedy treatment.
