Canada leads US supply, with Chile a significant source of farmed coho, and Vietnam and New Zealand also contributing to the diverse supplier base. Pink salmon (0303120032) is the highest-volume species globally and a key input for canned salmon production, while chinook (0303120012) commands the highest per-unit value in premium retail.

CBP and FDA may scrutinize species identity for frozen salmon given the significant price differences between, for example, chinook and pink salmon. Importers should obtain catch certificates, vessel logbooks, or aquaculture origin certificates that specify the exact species (including scientific name), and ensure commercial invoices and packing lists use both the common and scientific name.
Chile has developed one of the world's largest farmed salmon industries, producing coho and Atlantic salmon at scale. Farmed coho (Oncorhynchus kisutch) from Chile classifies under the Pacific salmon heading (030312), making Chile a significant source even though wild Pacific salmon fisheries are concentrated in the North Pacific.
