U.S. imports of frozen toothfish fillets (HS 030485) totaled $4.1M in April 2026, traded with 2 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataCommercially marketed as Chilean sea bass, toothfish fillets (Patagonian and Antarctic species) are among the most tightly regulated seafood imports entering the US, requiring a CCAMLR (Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources) Catch Documentation Scheme certificate for Antarctic-origin fish and equivalent documentation for Patagonian toothfish. Chile and Argentina dominate US supply, reflecting their proximity to the primary fishing grounds in the Southern Ocean and sub-Antarctic waters. Importers should be aware that shipments lacking valid catch documentation are subject to refusal at the port of entry under the Dissostichus Catch Document program administered by NOAA.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The Dissostichus Catch Document (DCD) is a CCAMLR-administered traceability certificate required for all imports of toothfish into the US. NOAA enforces this requirement; shipments without a valid DCD are inadmissible regardless of origin.
Both Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) and Antarctic toothfish (Dissostichus mawsoni) classify under 0304850000 as frozen toothfish fillets. The species distinction matters primarily for catch documentation and quota compliance under CCAMLR, not for tariff classification purposes.
