Last updated: August 2026 dataSablefish (Anoplopoma fimbria), also marketed as black cod, is a premium deepwater species from the North Pacific prized for its high fat content and buttery texture in Japanese and high-end Western cuisine. This tariff line covers the frozen whole or dressed form only — frozen fillets move under heading 0304. Sablefish is subject to the Seafood Import Monitoring Program (SIMP), requiring importers to maintain harvest and chain-of-custody records to combat IUU fishing. The species is primarily harvested in Alaskan and Canadian waters, making it a significant export commodity as well as an import line for re-entry of processed product.

Yes. Sablefish (Anoplopoma fimbria) is one of the species covered by NOAA's Seafood Import Monitoring Program. Importers must file harvest and chain-of-custody data at the time of entry through the ACE system to demonstrate the fish was legally caught.
Black cod is a common trade name for sablefish (Anoplopoma fimbria) and is not a true cod. Despite the alternate name, it classifies under the sablefish-specific line 0303890061 when frozen and presented in whole or dressed form, not under any cod subheading.
