Last updated: August 2026 dataCanned and otherwise preserved salmon — spanning pink (humpback), sockeye, chum (dog), and other species — is one of the most commercially diverse fish headings in the US tariff schedule, with the 10-digit lines distinguishing pack medium (in oil vs. not in oil), container type (airtight vs. other), and species. Thailand and Poland are the leading foreign suppliers, with Chile and Canada also significant sources, reflecting both Atlantic-farmed and Pacific wild-caught supply chains. Importers must account for FDA oversight of seafood HACCP plans and labeling requirements, and should verify whether specific lines carry tariff-rate-quota exposure before filing entry. Classification turns on whether the product is packed in oil, the container's airtight status, and the salmon species — distinctions that determine which of the nine 10-digit lines (1604112020 through 1604114050) applies.

The schedule splits entries by three criteria: species (pink/humpback at 1604112020 or 1604114020, sockeye at 1604112030 or 1604114030, chum/dog at 1604114010, and 'NESOI' catch-alls), pack medium (in oil vs. not in oil), and container type (airtight vs. other). Misclassifying species or omitting the oil/airtight distinction is a common entry error.
All imported processed fish products must come from facilities with documented seafood HACCP plans meeting FDA requirements. Importers should also ensure country-of-origin labeling (COOL) and net-weight declarations comply with FDA and FTC rules. Admissibility is complex; consult a licensed customs broker or FDA-registered importer of record before shipment.
