Toothfish (Dissostichus spp.) — marketed commercially as Chilean sea bass — is among the most tightly regulated fish in international trade, with Chile as the dominant supplier of fresh and chilled fillets to the US market. Every shipment must be accompanied by a CCAMLR Catch Documentation Scheme (CDS) certificate or an equivalent national catch document to verify the fish was not illegally, unreported, or unregulated (IUU) harvested from Antarctic or sub-Antarctic waters. FDA seafood HACCP requirements apply at entry, and importers should confirm their Chilean suppliers hold current CCAMLR documentation to avoid detention or refusal.

The Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) operates a Catch Documentation Scheme (CDS) that tracks toothfish from harvest through export to combat IUU fishing. US Customs and Border Protection and NOAA require a valid CDS certificate for all Dissostichus spp. imports. Shipments lacking proper documentation are subject to refusal of entry, making CDS compliance a non-negotiable step in the import process.
Chile holds significant quota allocations for Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) in the southeastern Pacific and operates a well-established processing sector capable of producing fresh fillets with the cold-chain infrastructure needed for air freight to US markets. Chile's proximity relative to Antarctic fishing grounds and its compliance with CCAMLR documentation requirements reinforce its dominant position in this niche, high-value trade.
