Last updated: August 2026 dataCovering Dissostichus spp. at the 10-digit level, this line captures frozen fillets of both Patagonian and Antarctic toothfish, the species sold under the Chilean sea bass trade name. Entry requires a CCAMLR Dissostichus Catch Document and SIMP data filed through ACE, making this one of the most documentation-intensive seafood lines in the US tariff schedule. Chile leads supply, with Argentina also a significant source from Southern Ocean fisheries.

Yes. Toothfish is listed under both NOAA's SIMP and the separate CCAMLR catch documentation requirement. Importers must satisfy both: SIMP harvest data filed through ACE and a valid CCAMLR Dissostichus Catch Document presented at entry. These are parallel, not interchangeable, obligations.
Given toothfish's premium price point, US buyers — particularly foodservice distributors and high-end retailers — commonly specify IQF (individually quick frozen) processing, core temperatures at or below -18°C throughout transit, and MSC certification. Suppliers from Chile and Argentina typically provide MSC chain-of-custody certificates to meet these buyer requirements.
