Frozen Plaice (Whole, Excluding Fillets, Livers & Roes) imports of $3K in June 2026 ran 500% above the year-to-date monthly average of $425.
Plaice (Pleuronectes platessa), a North Atlantic flatfish prized in European markets, enters the US under a single tariff line (0303320000), with Iceland as the overwhelmingly dominant supplier. The narrow supplier base reflects both the species' geographic range and Iceland's position as a major distant-water fishing nation. Because Iceland is not an EU member and does not have a US free-trade agreement, standard MFN duty rates apply. FDA prior-notice and HACCP seafood safety requirements govern entry, and importers should confirm that Icelandic establishments are current on FDA registration.

No. Plaice (Pleuronectes platessa) classifies specifically under 030332, while flounder and other flatfish not elsewhere specified fall under 030339. The distinction matters because they carry separate tariff lines; misclassifying plaice as flounder (or vice versa) can result in a classification error. Species documentation from the supplier is the key supporting record.
All imported seafood requires FDA prior notice of arrival and must comply with HACCP-based seafood safety regulations under 21 CFR Part 123. Importers should verify that the Icelandic processing establishment is registered with FDA and not subject to any active import alert. Consult a licensed customs broker or FDA-registered agent before shipment.
