Last updated: April 2026 dataCanada is the primary supplier of live, fresh, and chilled scallops to the US, driven by proximity and the high-value half-shell and roe-on product demanded by fine-dining buyers on the East Coast. Japan is a notable secondary source, particularly for live hotate (Patinopecten yessoensis) scallops prized in sushi and sashimi applications. All live and fresh scallop shipments are subject to FDA seafood HACCP requirements, and live product may require documentation consistent with the National Shellfish Sanitation Program depending on how the species is classified by the receiving state. The single US tariff line (0307210000) covers all live, fresh, and chilled scallops regardless of species or production method, so species and condition must be clearly stated in commercial documentation to support accurate entry.

NSSP coverage of scallops depends on whether the product is sold with the viscera (gut) intact, which triggers shellfish sanitation program requirements, or as adductor muscle only, which is generally regulated as a fish product under standard FDA HACCP rules. Importers should clarify the product form with their supplier and confirm applicable requirements with FDA before the first shipment.
Brokers typically require a commercial invoice specifying species, condition (live or fresh), and net weight; a packing list; a Canadian export health certificate or equivalent; and temperature logs or ice-pack declarations confirming the product remained at or below 40°F during transit. Canada's proximity allows truck shipments with same-day or next-day delivery, but documentation gaps can still trigger FDA examination.
