Last updated: April 2026 dataTurkey dominates US seabream imports under this heading, reflecting the country's large-scale Mediterranean aquaculture industry, with Greece and Spain also supplying farmed product. The US tariff schedule distinguishes whole scaled fish under 6.8 kg (0302851100) from other whole-fish presentations (0302855000) and a general catch-all line (0302850000), making accurate weight and presentation documentation critical at entry. Seabream is a premium species in foodservice and specialty retail, where freshness windows are narrow and cold-chain integrity is closely scrutinized. All shipments require FDA prior notice and are subject to seafood HACCP requirements at the port of entry.

Correct classification depends on the fish's weight and whether it has been scaled, so accurate packing documentation is essential.
Fresh seabream is an FDA-regulated seafood product. Importers must submit FDA prior notice before arrival, and shipments must comply with seafood HACCP regulations.
