Last updated: August 2026 dataNorway dominates US supply of fresh and chilled salmonid cuts under this heading, with Chile and Iceland also significant sources — a concentration that makes cold-chain reliability and air-freight capacity critical variables for importers. The US schedule distinguishes farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) from wild-caught Atlantic salmon and from other salmon species, with separate 10-digit lines (0304520010 and 0304520015) capturing that farmed/wild split, while 0304520020 covers non-Atlantic salmon species and 0304520090 catches remaining Salmonidae. Cuts classified here — belly flaps, collars, and other non-fillet portions — are excluded from the fillet provisions of heading 0304 and must be correctly distinguished from steaks to avoid misclassification. All shipments require USDA FSIS reinspection at the port of entry from an approved foreign establishment.

The schedule uses two separate 10-digit lines: 0304520010 covers farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) meat other than fillets, while 0304520015 covers wild (non-farmed) Atlantic salmon meat in the same form. Correct classification depends on the production method documented by the exporter, so aquaculture certification records are important supporting documents.
Portions such as belly flaps, collars, head-on dressed fish, and other non-fillet, non-steak cuts fall under this heading. Fillets are classified separately within heading 0304, and steaks are also excluded — so the physical form of the cut at time of entry determines the correct subheading.
Shipments must originate from a USDA FSIS-approved foreign establishment and are subject to reinspection at the US port of entry. Importers should confirm the exporting facility's FSIS approval status before shipment and ensure cold-chain documentation accompanies the entry. Consult a licensed customs broker or FSIS for current admissibility requirements.
