U.S. exports of Ray and Skate (Rajidae) Fillets, Fresh or Chilled (HS 0304480000) totaled $3K in August 2026, exported to 2 countries.
Last updated: August 2026 dataAt the 10-digit level, fresh and chilled Rajidae fillets enter under a single line (0304480000), with South Korea and China as the primary supply origins. The product serves both specialty seafood retailers and ethnic food markets in the US, where skate wing in particular has a distinct culinary following. FDA HACCP compliance is required of foreign processors, and given the elasmobranch biology of rays and skates, importers should confirm that no CITES listing applies to the harvested species before shipment.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
No. Skate wings, when presented as fillets (flesh separated from the cartilaginous skeleton), are classified under 0304480000 along with other Rajidae fillets. However, if the skate wing is imported whole or with the cartilage intact rather than as a fillet, it may fall under a different provision in Chapter 03 covering whole or dressed fish. The fillet classification requires that the flesh be separated in the manner consistent with HTS Chapter 3 notes.
South Korea is a major processor and exporter of skate and ray products. Importers sourcing from Korean establishments should verify that the facility is registered with FDA and maintains a current seafood HACCP plan. South Korea's fisheries are generally well-documented, but importers should still request catch certificates or vessel trip records to support any CITES species-clearance review and to satisfy NOAA's seafood import monitoring requirements if applicable.
