Prepared or Preserved Salmon, Whole or in Pieces (Not Minced)

Canned and otherwise preserved salmon — covering species from pink (humpback) and chum (dog) to sockeye and albacore — is one of the most commercially significant shelf-stable seafood categories in US retail and foodservice channels. The US schedule is unusually granular, with eight 10-digit lines that separate species (chum at 1604114010, pink at 1604114020, sockeye at 1604114030), pack medium (in oil vs. not in oil), and container type (airtight vs. other). Thailand and Poland are the leading import sources, with Chile, Canada, and France also among the top suppliers. FDA oversight applies to all imported preserved fish products, and importers should ensure foreign processors are registered and compliant with seafood HACCP requirements.
