U.S. exports of Fresh or Chilled Sablefish (Black Cod), Whole — Excluding Fillets, Livers & Roes (HS 0302893010) totaled $14K in August 2026, exported to 2 countries.
Last updated: August 2026 dataSablefish (Anoplopoma fimbria), also known as black cod or butterfish in some markets, is classified here when entered fresh or chilled in whole or dressed form that does not meet the scaled/container-weight criteria of the more specific line 0302891120. The species commands premium prices in export markets, particularly Japan, and its domestic US harvest from the North Pacific is managed under federal fishery management plans. Imports under this line are relatively uncommon given robust domestic supply, but they do occur from Canada and other North Pacific sources. FDA prior notice and seafood HACCP requirements apply; importers should retain species identification documentation to support the Anoplopoma fimbria classification.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
A species declaration from the foreign exporter, catch certificate, or bill of lading identifying the fish as Anoplopoma fimbria is the standard supporting document. For wild-caught fish, a harvest certificate or vessel log reference may also be requested by CBP or FDA. Mislabeling of species is a known compliance risk in seafood trade and can trigger FDA detention.
There is no general import quota on sablefish entering the US, but importers should verify current NOAA and CBP guidance, as fishery management measures can evolve. Sablefish from certain origins may also be subject to country-of-origin labeling (COOL) requirements at retail, which is a separate compliance obligation from tariff classification.
