U.S. exports of fresh or chilled seabass, whole or dressed (general) (HS 0302840000) totaled $39K in June 2026, traded with 4 countries.
At the parent level, this heading groups all fresh or chilled seabass — including European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax), Asian seabass (barramundi), and various striped bass relatives — before the US schedule subdivides them by container weight and presentation. The aquaculture-versus-wild-caught distinction matters commercially: Mediterranean-farmed European seabass is a major import item, while barramundi is increasingly farmed domestically and in Southeast Asia. USDA FSIS inspection applies to all imported fish, and importers should ensure that foreign aquaculture facilities appear on FSIS's approved-country list for farmed fish.

The HTS heading uses 'seabass' broadly and can encompass multiple species depending on classification rulings, including European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax) and Asian seabass/barramundi (Lates calcarifer). Striped bass (Morone saxatilis) may also fall here depending on the specific product form. When species identity is ambiguous, importers should seek a binding ruling from CBP to avoid misclassification.
USDA FSIS requires that farmed fish imports originate from countries and establishments that FSIS has determined to have equivalent food-safety inspection systems. Importers must verify that the foreign aquaculture facility is on the FSIS-approved list and that each shipment is accompanied by the required health certificate. Shipments from non-approved countries or facilities will be refused entry.
