Last updated: August 2026 dataEuropean seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax), the dominant species in this heading, is a premium aquaculture product with Turkey and Greece as the leading US suppliers, followed by Spain, the Netherlands, and France — reflecting the Mediterranean basin's dominance in farmed seabass production. The US schedule subdivides the heading by size and presentation: 0302841100 covers scaled fish at or under 6.8 kg, while 0302845000 captures all other presentations not elsewhere specified, and 0302840000 covers the broader category. Air-freight cold-chain logistics from Mediterranean producers drive a tight delivery window, making this a high-value, time-sensitive import.

Tariff line 0302841100 specifically covers scaled seabass weighing 6.8 kg or less per fish, fresh or chilled, excluding fillets and offal. Fish above that weight or presented unscaled fall into the residual line 0302845000. Importers should ensure invoices and packing lists document individual fish weights to support correct line-level classification.
Yes — branzino is the Italian trade name for European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax) and is the same species classified under HS 030284. The trade name does not affect customs classification, but commercial invoices using 'branzino' should also reference the scientific name or HTS code to avoid ambiguity during CBP review.
