Last updated: August 2026 dataPacific salmon shipped fresh or chilled — covering chinook (king), chum (dog), pink (humpback), sockeye (red), and coho (silver) species — are classified across ten 10-digit lines that further distinguish farmed from wild-caught product for chinook and coho. Canada is the leading supplier by a wide margin, given its proximity and the abundance of wild Pacific salmon in British Columbia waters; New Zealand, Chile, Japan, and Italy also appear among recorded sources, reflecting both wild-capture and aquaculture channels. All fresh salmon imports require FDA Prior Notice and importer HACCP compliance, and country-of-origin labeling rules mandate disclosure of both origin and production method at retail.

828 import shipments a month
For both coho (silver) and chinook (king) salmon, the US schedule provides separate 10-digit lines for farmed product (0302130013 for farmed chinook; 0302130053 for farmed coho) and non-farmed (wild) product (0302130014 and 0302130054 respectively). Correct line selection requires the importer to declare the production method, which must also align with country-of-origin labeling disclosures at retail.
Italy's presence likely reflects re-export or transshipment activity rather than domestic Pacific salmon production — fresh salmon originating in the Pacific may be processed or consolidated through European logistics hubs before onward shipment to the US. Importers should ensure that country-of-origin documentation accurately reflects the country of harvest, not merely the last country of export, to comply with CBP substantial-transformation rules and USDA COOL requirements.
