Last updated: April 2026 dataSockeye salmon — prized for its deep-red flesh, firm texture, and high oil content — is classified under a single 10-digit line (0303110000) covering whole frozen fish excluding fillets, livers, and roes. Canada is the primary supplier, with Japan also contributing, reflecting the species' Pacific Northwest and Alaskan wild-catch origins and the role of Japanese trading companies in the frozen salmon supply chain. Sockeye commands premium pricing in retail and foodservice relative to pink or chum salmon, and importers should ensure country-of-origin labeling (COOL) compliance for retail seafood sales.
