Frozen Pacific, Atlantic, and Danube Salmon Fillets

Line 0304815010 covers fillets of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and Danube salmon (Hucho hucho) that are not in the skinned block format of 0304811000. Line 0304815090 is the broader residual covering fillets of Pacific salmon species (Oncorhynchus spp.) and other Salmonidae not captured by the more specific lines. The distinction matters because Atlantic and Pacific salmon often carry different duty rates and may have different Section 301 or antidumping exposure depending on origin.

Chile is not currently subject to antidumping or countervailing duty orders on frozen salmon fillets in the US market, and Chile is not a US free-trade-agreement partner, so standard MFN rates apply. However, trade-remedy petitions can be filed at any time, and importers sourcing heavily from a single origin should monitor USITC and Commerce Department proceedings. Norway, another major supplier, has historically been the subject of antidumping investigations on salmon in other markets, so importers should stay current on any US proceedings.
