U.S. imports of frozen scallops (HS 030722) totaled $14.4M in July 2026, traded with 16 countries.
Importers of Frozen Scallops paid $1.4M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 13% on $10.8M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Frozen Scallops imports of $14.4M in July 2026 ran 18% below the year-to-date monthly average of $17.6M.
Last updated: July 2026 dataFrozen scallops of the family Pectinidae — covering both whole and shucked product — are subject to FDA oversight at entry, including potential detention under import alerts if the foreign processor has a history of violations involving decomposition, Salmonella, or other hazards. Japan leads US import supply, a reflection of its large sea scallop aquaculture sector, with Argentina and Canada also significant sources offering wild-caught Atlantic and Patagonian varieties. The single US tariff line (0307220000) provides no further subdivision, so commercial distinctions such as species (Placopecten, Patinopecten, Argopecten), size grade, and IQF versus block-frozen form are captured only in commercial documentation.

Because 0307220000 does not subdivide by species or grade, those distinctions must be captured in commercial invoices, packing lists, and FDA Prior Notice submissions. Species identification matters for country-of-origin traceability and for buyers' specifications, while size grade (e.g., U/10, 10/20) is a key pricing variable. FDA may also request species verification if labeling is ambiguous.
Importers must submit Prior Notice to FDA before arrival and ensure the foreign processor is not on an active import alert. FDA may sample and analyze the product for decomposition, Listeria, heavy metals, or other contaminants before releasing the shipment. If detained, the importer bears the cost of storage and any required reconditioning or re-export. Admissibility for seafood imports is complex — consult a licensed customs broker with FDA experience before importing.
