Last updated: August 2026 dataFarmed Atlantic salmon from Chile and Norway dominates US import volumes under this heading, while wild-caught Pacific species add seasonal complexity to sourcing decisions. The US schedule distinguishes Pacific salmon (0304810000), large skinned frozen blocks destined for further processing (0304811000), Atlantic Salmo salar fillets (0304815010), and other Salmonidae fillets (0304815090) — a species-level split that affects both duty treatment and country-of-origin labeling requirements. China appears as a significant supplier, often re-processing Norwegian or Chilean raw material before export. All shipments require FDA prior notice and are subject to USDA FSIS reinspection at approved ports of entry.

The schedule separates Pacific salmon into its own line (0304810000), while Atlantic Salmo salar fillets fall under 0304815010 and remaining Salmonidae species under 0304815090. Large skinned blocks over 4.5 kg intended for mincing or uniform cutting are classified separately under 0304811000 regardless of species origin.
Importers must file FDA prior notice before arrival and ensure shipments originate from FSIS-approved foreign establishments. Reinspection occurs at designated ports of entry. Country-of-origin labeling (COOL) requirements also apply to salmon sold at retail, and aquaculture-raised product must be labeled accordingly.
