U.S. imports of Fresh or Chilled Seabream (Whole, Not Filleted) (HS 030285) totaled $1.5M in August 2026, imported from 12 countries.
Importers of Fresh or Chilled Seabream (Whole, Not Filleted) paid $182K in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 11.81% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: August 2026 dataFarmed gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) dominates this heading commercially, with Turkey and Greece the primary US suppliers — a supply pattern mirroring the Mediterranean aquaculture industry that also leads in seabass. The US tariff schedule mirrors the seabass structure: 0302851100 covers scaled seabream at or under 6.8 kg, 0302855000 captures other presentations not elsewhere specified, and 0302850000 covers the broader category. New Zealand and Japan also appear among leading suppliers, reflecting trade in Pacific sparid species that share the seabream classification.

Yes. HS 030285 covers seabream broadly, encompassing multiple sparid species regardless of geographic origin. Both Mediterranean gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) and Pacific sparid species from Japan or New Zealand fall within this heading, provided they are entered fresh or chilled in whole or dressed form rather than as fillets.
Because tariff line 0302851100 is limited to scaled fish weighing 6.8 kg or less per individual fish, commercial invoices and packing lists should specify the average or individual fish weight and confirm the fish are scaled. Without that documentation, CBP may default to the residual line 0302855000 or request additional information, potentially delaying clearance.
