U.S. exports of fresh or chilled rays and skates (whole, not filleted) (HS 030282) totaled $58K in July 2026, traded with 2 countries.
Last updated: July 2026 dataRays and skates entered fresh or chilled in whole or dressed form — excluding fillets, livers, and roes — are covered by a single US tariff line (0302820000), with Canada and Mexico as the leading suppliers. The edible portion of rays and skates is primarily the wing, which is often trimmed at the point of harvest; importers should confirm that trimmed wings presented without skin or cartilage are not reclassified as fillets, which would shift the product to a different HTS heading. Cold-chain management is especially important for this product given its high urea content, which accelerates quality degradation after harvest.

Classification depends on the degree of processing. Skate wings that retain the cartilage and are not separated into boneless muscle portions are generally classified as whole or dressed fish under 0302820000. Wings that have been skinned and separated into boneless muscle portions may be reclassified as fillets under a different Chapter 3 heading. A binding ruling from CBP is advisable when the presentation is ambiguous.
Rays and skates store urea in their tissues as an osmoregulatory mechanism; after death, urea converts to ammonia, accelerating spoilage and producing off-odors. This makes temperature control and rapid transit from Canada or Mexico especially critical, and it is a key reason why most commercially traded ray and skate product originates from nearby suppliers rather than distant sources.
